You must grease the parchment paper as well. You either can use the butter to grease or cooking oil. It depends on your preference.

Step-3
Now pour the mixture into the baking pan and smush it down properly. Spread into each corner evenly with a spatula. Since the mixture is a bit thicker, it sits very quickly. Therefore, you need to press them tight as quickly as you can to spread them evenly.

It’s a no-baking dessert item. So, you need not go for any baking or cooking process. All you need is to refrigerate the pan for 30 minutes or for an hour if you have plenty of time.
