Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Crackers
  • 6 tablespoons Melted Butter
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy Cream
  • As needed Your Favorite Topping

Crust Preparation

Combine the crushed graham crackers and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Cheesecake Filling

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.

Assembling and Chilling

Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set completely.

Serving

Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, chocolate sauce, or caramel sauce. Slice and serve cold. Enjoy!
