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
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Optional topping: Fresh fruit or pie filling
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to compress it tightly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
Remove the crust from the refrigerator and evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the top using a spatula. Smooth out the surface.
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh fruit, pie filling, or your favorite toppings.
Slice, serve, and enjoy your creamy no-bake cheesecake!
