Preparation

Step 1

Mix graham crumbs with cinnamon well. Melt butter and pour it in; make sure all crumbs are well coated in butter, but not soggy. Adjust levels if you need to.

Step 2

Press the crumbs into a pan: I use a spring-form cake pan but you can use a plain old 8x8" square cake pan, or if doubling the recipe, a long baking dish. Press the crumbs well all around and pack them down tight. Put in the fridge.

Step 3

Put the cream cheese in a big bowl and start to cream it with a mixer. When it's softened a bit, add the vanilla and sugar; beat it well. Add the whole pit of whipping cream and keep whipping it until it thickens - at least 4-5 mins.

Step 4

Pour the cheese mix over the graham crumbs; spread it out to cover the whole thing well. Put back in the fridge for 15-20 mins.

Step 5

When it has firmed up a little more you can decorate. I like to use canned cherries, but an arrangement of fresh fruit is lovely also. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Step 6

Enjoy!
