Step-by-Step Instructions
First, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). While that’s heating up, I like to line my baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal later on. In one bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter, then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. It creates a wonderfully crunchy base that balances out the creamy topping. This first layer sets the tone for the delightful dessert that is about to unfold.
