Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
For the Topping:
- 1 can cherry pie filling
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare the Crust
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the bottom of a glass to pack it tightly.
Place in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to set.
2️⃣ Make the Creamy Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and airy.
3️⃣ Assemble the Cheesecake
Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better for clean slices).
