Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 cup Fresh fruit or pie filling (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch square pan to form an even crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a flat glass to smooth it out. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until evenly combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for a clean finish.
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the dessert to set.
Before serving, optionally top with fresh fruit, pie filling, or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy!
