For the filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Optional toppings:

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch pan or pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Add toppings and serve: Top with fresh berries, fruit preserves, or your favorite toppings before serving.
