Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups whipped cream (or Cool Whip)

1 can cherry pie filling (or your favorite fruit topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until fully combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

    Form the Crust: Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup or your fingers to pack it down tightly. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until well incorporated.

        Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract, blending until smooth.

          Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream (or Cool Whip) until no white streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

            Combine and Chill: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

              Serve with Topping: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with cherry pie filling or your choice of fruit topping before slicing and serving.
