Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 3 sleeves graham crackers (about 27 crackers)
  • ½ cup (100g) packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt

For the Filling:

  • 3 (8 oz / 680g) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240g) sour cream
  • 1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed (or stabilized whipped cream)
  • Optional toppings: fruit preserves, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Mix with brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and melted butter until well combined.
  2. Press bottom layer: Reserve 1 to 1.5 cups for the topping. Press the rest firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 pan. Chill for 20 minutes.
  3. Prepare filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until fluffy. Blend in vanilla and sour cream. Gently fold in whipped topping until combined.
  4. Assemble: Spread filling evenly over chilled crust. Sprinkle reserved crust mixture on top and lightly press.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese fully for a smooth, creamy filling.
  • Chill the crust before adding the filling for stability.
  • Don’t overmix after folding in whipped topping—keep it airy.
  • Slice with a hot knife for clean cuts.
  • Try crust variations like Oreos, gingersnaps, or vanilla wafers.
