Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, mixing until crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or serving dish to create a solid, even crust. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Whip the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth with an electric mixer. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue beating until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to achieve a light and fluffy texture.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly with a spatula to smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  4. Add Final Touches: Before serving, decorate with your favorite toppings such as fresh fruits, chocolate shavings, or caramel drizzle to enhance flavor and presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Do not skip chilling time to ensure the cheesecake sets firmly for clean slices.
  • Use fresh heavy whipping cream for the best texture and richness.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling and to hold the cheesecake together.
  • Keep the cheesecake covered during refrigeration to avoid absorbing unwanted odors.
