Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well mixed; it should resemble wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. It’s important to pack it down well so that the crust holds its shape once baked. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely. This step is crucial as it gives the crust a nice, firm base. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
