- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Work to create an even layer. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overmix!
- Combine: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated, taking care not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble: Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve with your choice of toppings!
