1. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the base of your dish or jars.

2. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.

3. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; mix until fully incorporated.

4. Gently fold in whipped cream or topping.

5. Divide the mixture over crust and smooth tops.

6. Top with your desired flavor option (fruit, chocolate, or cherry).

7. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.

Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest result.

Always chill thoroughly—no-bake cheesecakes need time to set.

For variety, try individual jars or mini versions.

Perfect for summer desserts, potlucks, and make-ahead gatherings.
