Usually, at your local grocrey store you can buy pre-crushed graham crackers. If you don't want to do that, you can always take 24 graham crackers, put them in a bag, and take a rolling pin and pound them into little bits. Both ways will work the exact same way.

Mix Crust

Put Crust in Pan

Next, you want to put your crust into the pan. Make it a good amount, but not too much or else the crust will be too thick and overpower the cheesecake. Also, put it up the sides so that it has a shape to it. Then, put it in the oven for 12 minutes to ensure that the cheesecake won't make the crust soggy.

Add Ingredients to a Stand Mixer
