Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until resembling wet sand. Press into an 8 or 9-inch pie plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.
  3. Gradually add cold heavy cream in four increments while mixing on low speed. Blend until thick and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Pour the cream cheese mixture into the crust and spread evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  5. Remove from the refrigerator, cut into slices using a warm knife, and top with pie filling, fresh fruit, or whipped cream before serving.
