Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get down to business! The first step is to preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). This is crucial, as it ensures an evenly baked cheesecake base. Next, I grab my 9×13 inch baking dish and line it with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later on. Then, in a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Once the mixture is well blended, I press it evenly into the bottom of the prepared dish to create a firm crust. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
