Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for the crust)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar (for the filling)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a wet sand-like texture.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and blend until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and smooth.
Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled crust and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, chill the pie overnight.
Slice and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of fruit sauce.
