Equipment

Ingredients
  

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs This will form the base of your cheesecake, providing a crunchy texture.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted The melted butter helps bind the crumbs together, creating a firm crust.
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar A touch of sweetness enhances the flavor of the crust.

Filling

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened This is the star ingredient, giving the cheesecake its rich and creamy consistency.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar This sweetens the filling and helps achieve a smooth texture.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A splash of vanilla adds a lovely aroma and flavor to the cheesecake.
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream Whipping cream adds lightness and fluffiness to the filling.

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Make the cheesecake filling by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Pour the filling over the chilled crust, smooth the top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

For best results, let the cheesecake chill overnight to allow flavors to meld.
