Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started! Begin by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). While the oven warms up, I love to work on the crust first. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, and melted butter until you achieve a crumbly texture. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to form a nice foundation for your cheesecake. Don’t forget to pack it in there well! It really helps hold everything together.
