Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 16 oz Cream cheese
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and have the texture of wet sand.

Step 2

Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish or pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed measuring cup to press it down firmly. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until fully incorporated and smooth. Add the vanilla extract and mix to combine.

Step 5

In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. This will take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until just combined.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing it out with a spatula or knife.

Step 8

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 9

Before serving, optionally garnish with fresh strawberries or other toppings of choice. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
