Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, then press into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in increments of 30 seconds, stirring until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.
