15 sheets graham crackers (OR 30 squares)
2 tbsp granulated sugar

6 oz original cream cheese, room temperature
14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Crush the graham crackers in a food processor or in a large ziploc bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
