- In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine cracker crumbs, 1/4-cup sugar, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly on bottom, and 1-inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes until crumbs become slightly golden in color.
- Using an electric mixer, in a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar and blend until fluffy.
