Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh fruit or chocolate sauce for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve chilled, topped with fresh fruit or chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending. Don’t overbeat the heavy cream; stop once you see stiff peaks to prevent it from turning into butter.
