Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs These create a deliciously crunchy base.

  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar Just the right amount of sweetness for the crust.

For the Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract A splash of vanilla enhances the flavors beautifully.
