Ingredients
Method
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly among six dessert cups or small jars. Press gently into the bottom of each cup to create a crust layer.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until fully combined and no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly over the prepared crusts.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is set.
- Before serving, add your favorite toppings and enjoy chilled.
Notes
For extra flavor, substitute crushed vanilla wafers, Oreo cookies, or shortbread cookies for the graham cracker crust.
