Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Electric Mixer

Ingredients

Crust

  • 10 graham crackers
  • 6 tablespoons butter melted
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon

Filling

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened, at room temperature
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ¼ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Make the crust. In a food processor (or using a bag and rolling pin), crush the graham crackers into crumbs. Mix with the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Press into a pie plate. Bake at 375° for 7 minutes. Let cool before making the filling.

  • Make the filling. Beat the cream cheese, brown sugar, salt, vanilla, and corn syrup until smooth and creamy. There should be no lumps. In a separate small bowl, beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.

Notes

Make sure the crust is totally cool before adding the filling.  It will melt if you pour it into a hot dish.
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a lump-free filling.
