Ingredients
Crust:

2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Filling:
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Optional Toppings:

Chocolate shavings
Caramel or fruit sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Chill for 20 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth using an electric mixer.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
- Spread the filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and add desired toppings. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
Customize the toppings to match your preferences or the occasion.
