Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Topping (Optional)

  • 1 cup fresh fruit or chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Form the crust: Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it down tightly. Place it in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.
  3. Beat cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add sugar and vanilla: Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Whip cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
  6. Assemble cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set properly.
  8. Remove and garnish: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with fresh fruit or chocolate shavings if desired.
  9. Serve: Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Easter celebration!

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for best texture and flavor.
  • Chilling overnight enhances the cheesecake’s firmness and flavor.
  • Graham cracker crumbs can be substituted with digestive biscuits if unavailable.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
  • Leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days.
