Making the Filling
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
Incorporating Whipped Cream
- Fold in whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture gently to maintain fluffiness.
Combining and Chilling
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Serving
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and garnish with your favorite toppings.
