Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
 

  • Beat Cream Cheese: Place the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Sugar: Gradually add the granulated sugar to the cream cheese while continuing to beat on medium speed. Beat until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can deflate the whipped topping. Fold until the whipped topping is evenly distributed and no streaks remain.
  • Pour into Crust: If using a graham cracker crust, pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. If not using a crust, simply pour the mixture into a pie dish or spring form pan.
  • Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
  • Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator and slice it into servings. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth texture.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest and creamiest cheesecake.
  • Be gentle when folding in the whipped topping to maintain its volume.
  • Customize the flavor by adding extracts or toppings of your choice.
