Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 16 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup Optional pie topping (e.g., cherry pie filling or fresh fruit)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter.

Step 2

Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes while preparing the filling.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue mixing until well combined and fluffy.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks using a whisk or electric mixer.

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.

Step 7

Pour the filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula or spoon.

Step 8

Cover the pie with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set.

Step 9

Once set, optionally top the cheesecake with cherry pie filling, fresh fruit, or any topping of choice before serving.

Step 10

Slice, serve, and enjoy the creamy, no-bake treat!
