Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional for a tangy flavor)
• 1 cup Fresh fruit or pie filling (optional for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 2

Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to pack it down tightly.

Step 3

Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the heavy whipping cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

If using, gently fold in the lemon juice to enhance the flavor.

Step 7

Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until the cheesecake is set.

Step 9

Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate.

Step 10

Optional: Top the cheesecake with fresh fruit, pie filling, or your favorite toppings before serving.
