Easy Holiday Recipes: Easiest Cheesecake Ever

The holiday season is upon us and if you are looking for a dish that not only wows them but is also quick and easy, this easy cheesecake recipe is a dessert lovers dream.

I used to prepare it using the Diamond peppermint chocolate nut graham cracker pie crust.  OMGgggggggg... so good BUT the company no longer makes this variety (insert super sad face) but any graham cracker crust will do.

I typically use two packages of cream cheese in my cheesecakes but this recipe only calls for 1 package of cream cheese which means you can splurge and get the good stuff 😉

The recipe is just 4 ingredients, the graham cracker pie crust plus any special add-ins like chocolate chips, crushed peppermint candies, nuts or whatever you like.  A few minutes in the oven and tada you've got the best-est dessert ever.

Let's get to it.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 pkg. cream cheese (room temperature)
• 1/3 cup sweetener (I use Splenda, but you can use sugar)
• 1 graham cracker pie crust

Add-ins:  Chocolate chips, crushed candies

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
2. Use mixer to blend egg, vanilla, sweetener, and cream cheese until smooth
3. Pour into crust
4. Bake 30 minutes or until center is set.
5. Cool in fridge at least 2 hours

It's that simple

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 package of cream cheese

1/3 cup sweetener (I use Splenda, but you can use sugar)

1 of your favorite pie crust shells

1. Preheat oven 

2. Mix all ingredients and pour into your pie shell and bake for 30 minutes.

I'll have to snap a pic of the final product.  I am baking a couple of these including one in my air fryer and I'll share that recipe in an updated post later.

HAPPY BAKING!!!
