Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup Fresh fruit or fruit preserves (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan or a baking dish to form the crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks using a mixer. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow the cheesecake to set.
Before serving, top with fresh fruit or fruit preserves if desired. Slice and enjoy!
