For the Shortbread Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour and powdered sugar. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or fork until the crumbs are pea-size.
Press the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool completely.
For the Cheesecake
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
Add the heaving whipping cream and vanilla. Beat on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes or until the mixture thickens.
Spread on top of the cooled crust and chill for at least 4 hours.
Top with fresh fruit immediately before serving.
