Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Mix crust ingredients together until well combined.
- Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of a pie pan, making sure the bottom layer is thick. You want it to hold your cheesecake filling goodness!
- Next, make your filling. Mix room temp cream cheese and sugar together. Then add in eggs and vanilla, stirring until everything is smooth.
