    Preheat oven to 350 F. If making your own crust, crush the graham crackers in a food processor. Add in the butter and pulse to combine. Press crust firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9" pie pan. Filling: Beat all the ingredients together until smooth. Pour into crust. *Tip: To prevent top of cheesecake from cracking, bake it in a water bath: place pie onto a baking sheet that has sides. Place sheet into oven and then pour water onto sheet, filling it halfway up. Bake cheesecake for 45 minutes. Topping: Combine topping ingredients. Spread on top of the pie after it bakes for 45 minutes. Bake for another 15 minutes. Chill cheesecake in the fridge for a few hours before serving. Top cheesecake with desired fruit, jam, caramel, chocolate spread, or any other of your favorite toppings.
