Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
- Chai tea bags for flavor infusion (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled, optionally garnished with whipped cream and a sprinkle of chai spices.
