Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Fresh fruit or pie filling (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or a similar dish to form the crust. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and beat again until fully combined.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until well combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
Before serving, optionally top the mock cheesecake with fresh fruit or pie filling for added flavor and presentation.
Cut into slices and serve chilled. Enjoy!
