Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs coat all crumbs with butter for better adhesion
  • 1/2 cup Butter (melted) avoid using cold butter as it won’t mix well
For the Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese (softened) use at room temperature for easier mixing
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar can be substituted with powdered sugar for a smoother texture
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract use pure vanilla for a richer taste
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (cold) cold cream whips better
For the Topping
  • 1 can Canned Pie Filling (optional) choose flavors like cherry or blueberry

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfectly Easy No-Bake Cheesecake
  1. Prepare the crust by combining melted butter and graham cracker crumbs in a bowl, then press into a pie plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Make the filling by beating cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth, adding vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Whip the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
  5. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smooth the top, and tap the pie plate to eliminate bubbles.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
  7. Serve chilled, topped with canned pie filling or fresh fruit.
