  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed berries

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a medium bowl, combine 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs and 1/3 cup melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
