Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step is to create the base for your cheesecake. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and Rice Krispies. Stir until well coated. Then, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to create an even layer. Make sure to pack it tightly so it holds together when you slice the cheesecake later. Once that’s done, set the base aside while we prepare the creamy filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
