Notes

Because this recipe is so quick and easy, we usually just use store bought crust. However, it's super easy to make a graham cracker crust from scratch, if you prefer.
Cream cheese is a key ingredient. Be sure you use full fat cream cheese, not light cream cheese or cream cheese spread.
To prevent a lumpy cheesecake filling, be sure that you start with room temperature cream cheese. It will blend well and give you a smooth and creamy filling.
