Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for a tangy flavor)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Optional Toppings:

  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Chocolate shavings or syrup
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
    • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass or measuring cup to smooth it out.
    • Place in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until well combined.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
    • Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to set.
  4. Add Toppings and Serve:
    • Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
    • Top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings. Slice and serve chilled.

 

Notes

  • For an extra tangy flavor, consider adding the optional lemon juice to the filling.
  • This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
