Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 milliliters whipping cream
- 100 grams graham crackers
- 50 grams melted butter
- 100 grams fresh berries (optional)
- 10 grams chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin.
Pour the melted butter into the cracker crumbs and mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly into serving glasses or bowls to create the crust and press down gently with the back of a spoon.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
In a separate cold bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined, keeping the mixture light and airy.
Spoon the creamy filling over the graham cracker crust in each glass or bowl, leveling it smoothly.
Refrigerate the desserts for at least 1 hour to chill and set.
Before serving, top with fresh berries and chocolate shavings, if desired, for added flavor and decoration.
