Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Equipment

  • mixing bowls
  • 9-inch pie plate
  • electric mixer

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Assembly and Chilling
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, ensuring it is evenly spread.
  2. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely before serving.

Notes

For best results, make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. You can top this cheesecake with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or a fruit compote before serving for extra flavor and presentation.
