Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I preheat my oven to 325°F (160°C). Then, I prepare my springform pan by greasing it lightly. For the crust, I mix the melted butter and graham cracker crumbs to create a buttery, sandy texture. Pressing this mixture evenly into the bottom of my pan becomes a therapeutic task that I find enjoyable. Bake this crust for about 10 minutes until it’s golden and fragrant, and let it cool before moving on. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
