Description
A simple and delicious no-bake cheesecake topped with fresh berries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve as is, or top with fresh fruit, chocolate sauce, or whipped cream if desired.
Notes
- For a chocolate twist, add ¼ cup of cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture.
- For a fruit-flavored cheesecake, fold in 1 cup of pureed strawberries or blueberries into the filling before pouring it onto the crust.
