Ingredients

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 0.75 cup powdered sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly moistened.

Step 2

Step 2: Press the crust mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Press firmly using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to ensure an even layer. Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Step 4: Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until well combined.

Step 5

Step 5: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Step 6: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a silicone spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 7

Step 7: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Step 8: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to set.

Step 9

Step 9: Once set, lift the cheesecake bars out of the baking dish using the parchment paper. Slice into 12 bars.

Step 10

Step 10: Top with fresh berries (if desired) and serve chilled. Enjoy!
