Step-by-Step Instructions
To kick things off, I start by making the crust. In a mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my springform pan, making sure it’s evenly packed. I pop it in the fridge to chill while I whip up the filling. The process of pressing the crumbs always makes me feel like I’m creating something special! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
