Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Crust
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Pour the crumb mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Press down evenly to create a firm crust.
- Chill the crust in the fridge while preparing the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Combine and Chill
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
Blueberry Topping
- Optionally, create a blueberry sauce by cooking blueberries and sugar over low heat for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool.
- Alternatively, top with fresh blueberries just before serving.
Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, topping with blueberry sauce or fresh berries before slicing.
Notes
Store any leftovers tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days. This cheesecake can also be made a day in advance and tastes better after chilling longer.
