Step-by-Step Instructions
The first thing I always do is prepare the crust. I crush the Maria biscuits until they become fine crumbs and mix them with the melted butter. Once the mixture resembles wet sand, I press it firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. I place it in the refrigerator while preparing the filling. Trust me, chilling the crust helps it stay firm when you add the cheesecake mixture. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
