Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first prepared the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combined the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. The aroma of the buttery crumbs mixed with sugar is absolutely mouthwatering! I stirred until everything was well combined. Then, I placed muffin liners in my muffin tin and pressed about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each liner, forming a nice little base for my cheesecakes. I let these chill in the fridge while I moved on to the filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
