Ingredients
Scale:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Fresh fruit (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.)
Chocolate sauce
Caramel sauce
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined loaf pan. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust in the loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best texture.
Carefully lift the cheesecake out of the loaf pan using the parchment paper. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts.
