Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Vanilla Cream Filling:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • For the Whipped Cream Topping:
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Vanilla Cream Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add the 1 cup of powdered sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
  3. In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the 1 1/2 cups of cold heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, using a spatula, until no streaks remain and the filling is light and airy. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the vanilla cream filling into the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Cover the pie loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the filling to set completely.
  6. Add Whipped Cream Topping: Just before serving, prepare the topping. In a clean, chilled bowl, whip the 1/2 cup of cold heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  7. Spoon or pipe the whipped cream topping over the chilled pie. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth, lump-free filling.

For best results, chill the pie thoroughly; this allows the filling to set properly and makes for cleaner slices.

Keep heavy cream very cold before whipping to achieve maximum volume and stability for both the filling and topping.

Store any leftover pie covered in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
