Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
For the Topping:
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until the batter is smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Arrange the sliced peaches and mixed berries beautifully on top of the batter.
Step 4: Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly open.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Once cooled to room temperature, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and serve chilled for a delightful summer dessert!
