*If you are in France or can buy Petit Beurre biscuits, these are used in the crust. Originating from Nantes, the LU company produces these dry shortbread cookies. You can find them in some stores in North America and via Amazon (affiliate link).
There are other brands on the market, and in a pinch, you can use graham crackers, but the flavour will be slightly different.
