Cream Cheese Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Filling:
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
2 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Crust:
1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the texture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
2. Make the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the sugar and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well blended before adding the next.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
3. Assemble the Pie:
Pour the cream cheese mixture into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
4. Bake:
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly jiggles when shaken.
5. Cool and Chill:
Allow the pie to cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully set.
6. Serve:
Slice and enjoy your creamy and delicious cream cheese pie! Optionally, top with whipped cream, fruit preserves, or fresh berries for extra flavor.
