Instructions:
- Make the crust:
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
- Stir in the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish or springform pan to form a crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it down tightly.

- Prepare the filling:
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
- If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake:
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
