Step 1
Stir graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.
Step 2
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup.
Step 3
Whip cold cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
Step 4
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and light, 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl.
Step 5
Add vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds until combined.
Step 6
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two batches using a rubber spatula.
Step 7
Pour the filling over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until the cheesecake is firm and chilled through.
Step 9
Run a thin knife around the edges and release the springform pan. Slice and serve cold.
