Instructions

Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into 9-inch springform pan.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla.
Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
Pour over crust and smooth top.
Refrigerate 4-6 hours until set.

Notes

Substitute cream cheese with Neufchâtel for lower fat content. Use coconut cream for dairy-free option. Make ahead by preparing 1 day prior; store covered in refrigerator for up to 3 days. If mixture is too loose, chill longer. For firm peaks, ensure cream is cold before whipping. Avoid overmixing cream into filling to maintain fluffiness.
