Notes

  • If you don’t have graham crackers, no big deal! You can use crushed Oreos, Nilla wafers, or even pretzels for a salty-sweet twist.
  • To make it extra creamy, you can add a bit of mascarpone cheese or sour cream to the filling.
  • Don’t skip the chilling time! I know, I know, it’s hard to wait, but that’s what gives this cheesecake its texture. You’ll thank me later.
