Step-by-Step Instructions
First things first, let’s prepare the crust! In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a nice, even layer. It should feel sturdy enough to hold the cheesecake filling without crumbling. Once that’s done, let it chill in the refrigerator while we work on the filling. It’s worth letting the crust set for at least 30 minutes to give it that perfect crunch!
