Preparation Steps

• In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
• Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8 inch pan to form the crust.
• In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
• Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until 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 combined.
• Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust in the pan.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm before serving.
