Ingredients

For the graham cracker crust

  • 15 graham crackers
  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

For the no bake cheesecake filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Place the graham crackers inside a food processor and pulse until they turn into crumbs
  • Add the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, salt, and brown sugar to a bowl and mix to combine the cheesecake crust
  • Line an 8 by 8 baking dish with parchment paper (leave enough overhang on the sides so that you can pull the bars out after), then press the graham cracker crust into the bottom in an even layer. Use your hands to press it down firmly into the pan
  • Using either a kitchenaid or hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat again until combined
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form
  • Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined
  • Pour the no bake cheesecake filling onto the graham cracker crust and smooth out the top
  • Cover and chill the no bake cheesecake bars in the fridge for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight.
  • Grab the parchment paper sides and lift the bars from the pan. Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled
