Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by preparing the crust. In my mixing bowl, I combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my baking dish, creating an even layer. You can use the back of a measuring cup to help with this process. It should look nice and compact! Once that’s done, I pop it in the fridge to set while I make the filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
