Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade whipped cream)

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups digestive or graham cracker crumbs (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for better binding and richness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Crust: Press the digestive or graham cracker crumbs firmly into the base of your serving dish or individual cups, creating an even layer that will provide the perfect crunchy base. For best results, mix crumbs with melted butter before pressing.
  2. Blend the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in the whipped topping to maintain the light and airy texture.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly with a spatula. Smooth the top for a neat finish or texture it for a rustic look if preferred.
  4. Chill and Set: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set and firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps and achieve a silky smooth filling.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to keep the cheesecake light and airy.
  • Chilling improves texture, don’t skip it even though prep is fast.
  • Using fresh cream cheese and sugar enhances flavor and smoothness.
  • For extra crust richness and binding, add melted butter to the crumbs before pressing.
