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
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
• 1 cup fresh berries or fruit topping (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter.

Step 2

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smooth it out. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and continue to beat until well incorporated.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the cream. Add the lemon juice if desired, and fold until combined.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set.

Step 9

Once the cheesecake is fully set, remove it from the springform pan. Slice and serve as is, or garnish with fresh berries or fruit topping if desired.
