📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Crust
2
Double wrap the bottom of a 9- inch springform pan with foil, sealing it tightly to prevent water from getting into the pan.
3
Preheat oven to 350°F.
4
In a large bowl mix the graham cracker crumbs, butter, granulated sugar, and salt together evenly.

Place the springform pan into a larger pan and pour very hot water into the pan, until it’s 3/4- inch deep, careful to make sure the water level doesn’t come up higher than the foil.

Carefully run a knife around the rim of pan to loosen cake.

Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for at least an hour, then cover and transfer into the refrigerator for ⏱️ 6 hours or overnight.
