Vanilla Wafer Crust
- 2 ¼ cups vanilla wafer cookie crumbs
- ¼ cup brown sugar {lightly packed}
- ⅓ cup butter {melted}
Vanilla Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese {softened}
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping
- 1 ½ teapsoons vanilla bean paste
Toppings
- 4 ounces whipped topping
- 1 cup fresh fruit
Vanilla Wafer Crust
Pulse the vanilla wafers into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. {If you don't have a food processor or blender then add cookies to a zipper bag and crush with a rolling pin} Mix together vanilla wafer crumbs, brown sugar and melted butter, stir until crumbs are completely coated. Pour crumbs into a lightly greased 9" spring form pan and press into the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate the crust until the filling is prepared.
Vanilla Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat {using a hand held or stand mixer} cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and continue to mix until combined and smooth. Finally, add whipped topping and vanilla bean paste to the mixture and gently mix {fold in using a rubber spatula}. Add cheesecake mixture into prepared vanilla wafer crust, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
To serve, add whipped topping to a piping bag with a star tip {or a zipper bag} and pipe the whipped topping around the edge of the cheesecake. Go back and place fresh fruit {or whatever filling you choose} around the edge of the cheesecake. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator covered tightly for 3-4 days.
Topping ideas:
- Fresh Fruit-I think a combination of whatever is in season works best. Summer-Peaches, berries or fresh cherries would all be delicious. Fall-Apples, figs and cranberries are all ripe and beautiful. Winter-Pomegranate seeds, Star fruit and Kiwi would be a gorgeous combination. Spring-Pineapple, Mango and Strawberry would be wonderful.
- Caramel Sauce-salted or unsalted versions would be amazing!
- Nuts-Pecans, almonds, pistachios or a combination would work great on this cheesecake.
- Chocolate-Melt and drizzle over the top or add your favorite candies.
