Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and white sugar. Mix until well-blended and crumbly.

Make the filling
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a chilled glass or metal bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.
Assemble & chill

Notes
Serve the cheesecake chilled. Slice it into wedges and enjoy each piece with a spoonful of cherry topping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days. You can also freeze the cheesecake without the cherry topping.
