Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup granulated sugar

For the Filling:

• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
• 1–2 chai tea bags (for optional flavor infusion)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:
   In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Refrigerate while making the filling.
2. Infuse the Cream (Optional):
   For a stronger chai flavor, steep the chai tea bags in the cold heavy whipping cream for 10–15 minutes, then remove them and chill the cream until ready to whip.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom, mixing until fully combined.
4. Whip the Cream:
   In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the spiced cheesecake mixture, being careful not to deflate the airy texture.
5. Assemble the Cheesecake:
   Pour the filling over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set.
6. Serve & Enjoy:
   Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled. For extra flair, garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of chai spices!
