Ingredients
- For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the filling:
16 oz Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
For topping (optional):
Fresh fruit (berries, mango slices, etc.)
Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce
Whipped cream
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, and add lemon juice if desired. Mix until smooth.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the cream cheese filling into the crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Top and serve: Once the cheesecake has chilled, top with your choice of fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or caramel sauce. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- This cheesecake is best when made ahead of time and allowed to chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- You can use any crust you like, such as Oreo or Biscoff cookies, for a different flavor twist.
- Feel free to customize the topping with chocolate, caramel, or fresh fruit for variety.
