Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preparing my crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the melted butter and crushed graham crackers — it creates a cinnamon-scented mixture that’s simply irresistible! Once combined, I press it down firmly into the bottom of my 9×13-inch baking dish to form a nice base. Then, in another bowl, I whip together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. It brings such a lovely richness to the dish! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
