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. 😉
