Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, I whip together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until it’s creamy and smooth. This is the base of that cheesecake flavor I’m after, and honestly, I could just eat it with a spoon! Next, I spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of my greased baking dish. It’s a bit thick, so I find using a rubber spatula helps in getting it nice and even. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
