Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the mixture resembles wet sand.

  2. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating the crust. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass to firmly press the crumbs down. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well combined and fluffy.

  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix, as it may cause the filling to become dense.

  5. Remove the crust from the refrigerator and pour the filling over it, spreading it evenly using a spatula. Smooth the top surface for a neat presentation.

  6. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the cheesecake to set and develop its delicious flavors.

  7. Prior to serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Decorate the top of the cheesecake with fresh berries, a dollop of whipped cream, and a few mint leaves for an elegant touch.

  8. Slice the no-bake cheesecake into wedges and serve chilled. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, although it's unlikely to last that long!
