Ingredients and Tools for Keebler Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Keebler Ready Crust Graham Cracker Pie Crust
  • 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • Optional toppings: fresh fruit, whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, or caramel sauce

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Spatula
  • Oven (preheated to 325°F / 163°C)

How to Make the Keebler Cheesecake

Step 1: Make the Filling

Let the cream cheese sit out for 30 minutes until soft (you can use this time to preheat the oven and gather your toppings). In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth and fluffy. Add in the vanilla and blend again. Then add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.

Step 2: Assemble and Bake

Pour the filling into the Keebler Ready Crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Place the cheesecake on the center rack of your oven and bake at 325°F for 35–40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle like Jell-O, not soup!

Step 3: Cool and Chill

Let it cool on the counter until it reaches room temperature (about an hour), then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight if you can wait. This helps it set up into that rich, creamy texture we all love.

Pro Tips for a Perfect Cheesecake

  • Use room temperature ingredients: It makes everything blend easier and prevents lumps.
  • Don’t overmix: Once the eggs go in, mix gently to avoid air bubbles.
  • Let it cool slowly: Rapid cooling causes cracks. Let it rest, then refrigerate.

And remember: if you do get a crack, a dollop of whipped cream hides everything. 😉
