Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the crust

    In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated.

    Form the crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or tart pan to create an even layer. Set aside.

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined.

    Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
