    \n
  • 20 graham crackers (approx)<\/li>\n
  • 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar<\/li>\n
  • 10-15 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

     <\/p>\n

    For the Cheesecake filling:<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    • 2 blocks of 8 oz. each of Philadelphia Cream cheese<\/li>\n
    • 8-10 tablespoons of granulated sugar or 1 can of condensed milk<\/li>\n
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n
    • Lemon juice (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Steps to make Graham Crust:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      You can either get a ready graham cracker crust from a local store or bakery or make one yourself at home!. Since we decided to show you how to make a no-bake cheesecake from scratch, here are a few simple steps to make your graham crust:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Take Graham Cracker crumbs along with granulated sugar in a bowl. Pour some melted butter into the bowl and mix well. The butter combines the graham cracker and granulated sugar and ensures that the crust remains firm<\/strong>. Make sure that the graham crackers are moistened adequately with butter.<\/li>\n
      2. Put this mixture into a flat baking pan that is greased, and press it firmly using your hands. Else, you can also use the back portion of a spoon or a measuring cup to press it firmly! The pressing has to be very hard and tight to ensure that the crust sticks together. Press it against the walls of the tin as well.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      3. Once done, you can put the crust into the freezer for several hours. The butter needs to become hard enough to hold the crust together. Remove it once frozen and use it as a perfect base for your no-bake cheesecake!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Pro Tip: <\/strong>You can use a springform pan for ease of removing the crust. Make sure to lubricate the pan well before pressing the graham crust mixture against it!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

        Steps to making Cheesecake<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        1. Take a bowl and add a generous amount of cream cheese. We recommend you use the Philadelphia cream cheese<\/strong> over any other form of cheese. Add 8-10 tablespoons of granulated sugar with the cream cheese. You can also use condensed milk instead of sugar.<\/li>\n
        2. Beat the sugar and cream cheese together for a long while. Beat them up well until solid peaks start forming. Add vanilla extract and a few drops of lemon juice to it for a sweet-sour flavor.<\/li>\n
        3. After everything has mixed well, spread this cream cheese mixture onto the graham crust. Spread the layer evenly for a rich, creamy experience.<\/li>\n
        4. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate it for 4 hours. Overnight chilling is the best!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
