Cream Cheese Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

2. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully combined.

3. Pour into Crust: Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.

4. Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

5. Cool: Let the cake cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

6. Serve: Slice and enjoy as is, or top with fresh berries, chocolate drizzle, or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
