Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Whipping cream
- 1 cup Fresh berries or fruit topping (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch round pie dish or springform pan to form the crust. Use the bottom of a glass to create an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat again until fully combined and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff peaks form, using a hand mixer or whisk.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Incorporate thoroughly, but do not overmix to maintain the airy texture.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or until set. For best results, let it chill overnight.
Before serving, add fresh berries or any desired fruit topping for extra flavor and presentation. Slice and enjoy your quick instant cheesecake!
