Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric Mixer
  • Clear cups or jars

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 Tbsp butter melted
  • 1 Tbsp powdered sugar for the crust
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for the filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh fruit or berries for serving

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar until it resembles wet sand. Divide this mixture evenly across four serving cups and press down gently to form a crust.
  • In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining cup of powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat.
  • Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the remaining whipped cream until combined.
  • Divide the cheesecake mixture evenly among the four cups. Smooth the tops with a spatula, cover, and refrigerate for at least four hours.
  • When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and top with fresh fruit or berries.
