Ingredients
1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
16 oz block-style cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup heavy cream, chilled
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
Combine the crushed graham crackers with melted butter in a small bowl until well mixed.
Distribute the mixture evenly into eight small dessert cups or jars.
Press the crumbs down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a solid base.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Pipe or spoon the filling into each cup over the prepared crusts.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. For a decorative touch, garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of fruit coulis just before serving. These can be stored in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
