Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of your 9×13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Let it cool for a bit while we move on to the cheesecake layer. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This step smells heavenly! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
