Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In my kitchen, I always begin by preparing the crust, as this sets the base for our entire cheesecake. Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well-coated and resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan. It should be nice and compact—this ensures that it remains sturdy as we build our cheesecake layers. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
