Preparation Steps
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter, stirring until well moistened. Press into an 8 or 9-inch pie pan and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing for an additional minute.
- Slowly pour in cold heavy cream in four additions with the mixer on low speed. Whip for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Pour the cream cheese filling into the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Once set, slice into pieces and top with canned pie filling, fresh fruit, or whipped cream before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Do not overbeat heavy cream; stop mixing as soon as it holds soft peaks. Refrigerating overnight is best for flavor and texture.
