Instructions
Creating a Philadelphia No-Bake Cheesecake is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.
2. Press into Pan: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup for an even layer.
3. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
5. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
6. Pour Filling into Crust: Spoon the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
7. Chill: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best set.
8. Serve: Once chilled and set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with your choice of fruit, chocolate, or whipped cream before serving.
