How to Make Mom's Cream Cheese Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare graham cracker crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool completely.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in sour cream and vanilla extract until just combined.
- Pour the cream cheese filling into the cooled graham cracker crust.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is just set. Do not overbake!
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
- Gently spread the whipped cream topping over the warm pie.
- Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
- Before serving, top with your choice of fresh fruit or cherry pie filling (optional).
