Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Crust Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, then thoroughly blend with sugar and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the base of a springform pan, creating a compact foundation for the cheesecake.
- Chill the crust in the refrigerator for approximately 15-20 minutes to solidify and enhance structural integrity.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until exceptionally smooth and free of lumps.
- Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until the filling achieves a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, using a delicate folding technique to maintain airiness and prevent deflation.
- Carefully transfer the creamy filling onto the chilled crust, using a spatula to spread it evenly and create a perfectly level surface.
- Seal the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow complete setting and flavor development.
- Prior to serving, garnish with fresh seasonal berries, a fruit compote, or drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce for an elegant finishing touch.
- Slice with a clean, sharp knife and serve chilled for optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy texture.
- Crush graham crackers finely and press crust firmly to create a solid, even base that won’t crumble.
- Whip cream to stiff peaks for a lighter, airier cheesecake filling that holds its shape perfectly.
- Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours to develop rich, deep flavors and achieve ideal set consistency.
