Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
2. Create the Crust:
   Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, stirring until the texture resembles damp sand. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of your baking dish.
3. Mix the Filling:
   In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla, blending until everything is well combined.
4. Add Eggs and Flour:
   Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sprinkle in the flour and mix just until the batter is smooth—avoid overmixing.
5. Assemble & Bake:
   Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, smoothing the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, just until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.
6. Cool & Chill:
   Let the squares cool on a wire rack. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the filling can firm up properly.
7. Slice & Enjoy:
   Cut into neat squares and serve cold. Creamy, buttery, and absolutely delicious!
