Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 3 cups graham cracker crust
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup salted butter melted
For the Filling
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream very cold
- 3 8-ounce blocks cream cheese
- ½ cup sugar
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 cup sour cream at room temperature
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh berries
- spray whipped cream as desired
- strawberry or raspberry sauce as desired
Instructions
Prepare the Crust
- Stir together graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter.
- Press mixture firmly (this is important to make sure the crust doesn't fall apart!) into bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Freeze for 10-20 minutes while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Filling
- In a glass bowl, whip cream (this is quicker and easier with an electric mixer but can be done by hand) until stiff peaks form.
- In a second bowl, cream together cream cheese and sugar. Mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. Add and mix in whipped cream.
- Scoop filling into frozen crust and use a spatula or spoon to smooth out the top into an even layer.
- Chill in fridge (do not freeze) 4 hours or overnight.
- Top with berries and whipped cream if desired, slice, and serve.

Notes
Cream cheese: I prefer this with full-fat cream cheese, but it will work with reduced fat.
Add a little tang: I love this recipe as written - light on the tang, but I know some folks like their cheesecake with a lot of tang. If that's you, I've got your back! Just add 1-2 teaspoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice to the filling mixture.
Alternate topping suggestions: caramel or salted caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar.
