Description
A creamy, rich no-bake cheesecake that is easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Use a fork to mix until the crumbs are fully coated with the butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create a firm crust.
- Make the filling: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy for about 3-5 minutes.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until it reaches stiff peaks.
- Combine the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding gently to maintain the volume.
- Chill: Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and top with fresh fruits or chocolate sauce before serving.
Notes
For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight. Adjust sugar levels or flavorings to taste.
