Ingredients
1 servings
- •nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
- •18 graham crackers
- •1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- •1 pinch kosher salt
- •2 cups heavy cream
- •2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- •16 oz cream cheese, softened
- •¼ cup granulated sugar
- •2 teaspoons lemon juice
- •1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- •½ cup rainbow sprinkles, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Grease a 9-inch (19 cm) springform pan with nonstick spray.
- Add the graham crackers to a food processor and pulse until broken down into coarse crumbs. Add the melted butter and salt and pulse until combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
- Press the graham cracker mixture against the bottom and sides of the prepared pan in an even layer. Place in the freezer while you make the filling.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form, 2–3 minutes. Set aside ¾ cup (180 ml) of the whipped cream and reserve in the refrigerator for serving.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium-high speed until smooth, 2–3 minutes. Add the granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until incorporated, then fold in the rainbow sprinkles until well distributed.
- Remove the crust from the freezer and pour in the filling. Return to the freezer for at least 6 hours, or up to overnight.
- Release the cheesecake from the springform. Add the reserved whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a medium star tip. Decorate the top of the cheesecake with the whipped cream and more sprinkles.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
