Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a mixing bowl. The aroma of the buttery crackers fills my kitchen, and I can’t help but sneak a taste! Once mixed thoroughly, I press this crumbly mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch dish to form the crust. Next, I whip together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with my electric mixer until smooth and fluffy. It’s such a satisfying texture that brings me pure joy.
