Step-by-Step Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Instructions
This cheesecake is rich and creamy, with a luscious filling that balances sweetness and tanginess. The buttery graham cracker crust offers a delightful crunch, making every bite a perfect combination of textures.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 (8 oz) packages Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- Fresh fruit or chocolate for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust, smoothing it into an even layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
- Serve: Once the cheesecake is set, carefully release it from the springform pan. Top with fresh fruit or chocolate if desired, slice, and enjoy!
