If you don't use it, it will be lumpy and i added a teaspoon of water and that made it smooth! I tried these and they were great! I didn’t use an electric mixer though, and reccomend it.

These should take considerably less baking time to set. For your first batch, I would just estimate then watch them closely. Sorry I couldn't be more help. If you find any kind of conversion, let me know. Good luck! Valerie, I don’t know if there is a standard conversion out there. These should take considerably less baking time to set.

It's just a tedious process, especially with as many batches as you're making. It just needs to be compacted enough to stick to the sides. The filling will then create enough pressure to hold it all together. The finished crust should be a bit crumbly. It's just a simple graham cracker crust, and those don't really have anything in them to make them hard. As for the cracking, that is a common problem in cheesecakes. There are several theories on how to prevent that. The most common one is the water bath. That is done my placing the cheesecake pan in another pan filled about halfway up with water. I don't usually go that route. I do recommend not opening your oven door while they're baking. Also, you might try cutting your baking time down and then turning off the oven and leaving the cheesecakes in the oven for a bit before taking them out. The crust isn't going to brown much. As for the filling, there's not much browning there either. Pale is fine. A good way to check if they're done is to give the pan a little shake. If they still jiggle a good bit, then they're not done. Ideally, you won't have to open your oven, but when in doubt this may be your best test. I don't really know about using instant whip puddings in the cheesecakes. I've never tried that. Sydney, I don’t know of a trick to getting the crust pressed onto the sides.
