Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¼ cup graham cracker crumbs ((2 large sheets of graham crackers))
  • 1 tablespoon salted butter (, melted)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (, softened)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 ounces heavy cream

Instruction

  • Place 2 sheets of graham crackers in a ziplock bag, seal, and roll with a rolling pin or heavy can to crush. This yields about ¼ cup of crushed graham crackers. Alternatively, you can add the cookies to a food processor and pulse until the cookies turn to crumbs.
  • Pour the cookie crumbs into a small bowl and stir in the melted butter.
  • Spoon crumbs into a dessert dish and press down with the back of a spoon. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
  • Pour the heavy cream into a medium-sized bowl. With an electric mixer on medium speed or using a hand whisk, whisk until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Spoon over the graham cracker crust and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before eating.Pro Tip: For a much firmer cheesecake filling, refrigerate for about 6 hours.
