Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Stir graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture looks like wet sand.

  2. Step 2

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup.

  3. Step 3

    Whip cold cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.

  4. Step 4

    Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and light, 2–3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl.

  5. Step 5

    Add vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds until combined.

  6. Step 6

    Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two batches using a rubber spatula.

  7. Step 7

    Pour the filling over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  8. Step 8

    Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until the cheesecake is firm and chilled through.

  9. Step 9

    Run a thin knife around the edges and release the springform pan. Slice and serve cold.
