Notes

Heavy whipping cream can be replaced with 1 cup of thawed Cool Whip.
This pie is not very sweet, if you prefer it sweeter add up to a cup of powdered sugar to the cream cheese filling.
If desired, you can bake the graham crust for approximately 10-15 minutes. Cool before adding the filling.
The crust and cheesecake filling serves as a base for different flavor profiles. Try this easy pie with blueberry pie filling, raspberry, strawberry, etc.
