Ingredients
- 2¼ cups graham cracker crumbs (315g)
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 packages cream cheese, room temperature (8oz or 250g each)
- 1½ cups powdered sugar (165g)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- Whipped cream or toppings as desired
Instructions
- Line a 9″ springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal if desired. (I like to separate the top and bottom, then pinch the parchment in between the two so I can easily lift the cheesecake once it’s chilled.)
- In a medium bowl, combine the cracker crumbs and butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan and about ½″ up the sides.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric or stand mixer, until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla and beat on high, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the cream, until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula or electric mixer on low, fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese. Taste and adjust sweetness as desired.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Serve with sweetened whipped cream or other toppings as desired.

Notes
*This recipe has been updated since it was originally posted. In the original recipe, the cream was added straight to the cream cheese and whipped. This recipe now calls for the cream to be whipped separately. Although the previous recipe worked great for many people, this way is a little more foolproof.
