Step 3
The resulting mixture will be the base of our cake. Transfer it into a springform pan with high sides. If you don't have one, don't worry. Take any container, line it with plastic wrap, and use it as a mold for the future cake. Firmly press the cookie mixture onto the bottom of the pan, creating either a flat surface or one with edges. Then place the base into the refrigerator.
