Ingredients
 
 

For the crust (optional)

  • 2 cups Graham crackers
  • ½ cup Butter unsalted, melted
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar

For the filling

  • 15.8 oz Cream cheese softened, full fat
  • 1 ⅔ cups Heavy cream cold
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract optional
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract (if using) with an electric hand mixer for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  • Slowly pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl while mixing on low speed to incorporate.
  • Turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and whip the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes until it thickens significantly and holds its shape cleanly. Do not overmix or the cream will curdle.
  • Pour the thick cheesecake batter directly into your prepared or store-bought graham cracker crust. Smooth the top evenly using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours (or overnight) to allow the filling to set completely before slicing.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings or pipe whipped cream around the edges before serving.

Notes

  • Soften the Cream Cheese: Always bring your cream cheese to room temperature before mixing. Cold cream cheese creates tiny white lumps that are impossible to beat out later.
  • Keep the Cream Ice-Cold: Unlike the cream cheese, your heavy cream must be cold. Warm cream will not whip up or hold the air structure needed to set the cheesecake.
  • Don't Overmix the Cream: Stop mixing the moment the batter becomes thick and holds stiff peaks. Overwhipping will turn the heavy cream into butter, ruining the silky texture.
