Flavor and Garnish Ingredients:

Instructions
- Craft a delectable base by combining graham cracker crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to solidify the crust.

- Transfer the creamy filling onto the chilled crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Use gentle motions to prevent disturbing the graham cracker base.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for 4-6 hours, allowing it to set completely and develop rich flavors. The dessert should become firm and hold its shape when sliced.
