Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and resemble wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to pack it down.
4. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden and set. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
