Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- Optional: Fresh fruit or fruit preserves for topping
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the consistency of wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, spreading it evenly to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to press it firmly into place. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue to beat until fully combined and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and spread the cream cheese filling evenly over it, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow it to firm up.
Optional: Before serving, top with fresh fruit or a layer of fruit preserves for added flavor and presentation.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your no-bake cheesecake!
