Description
A luxurious cheesecake topped with fresh berries and peaches, capturing the essence of summer in every slice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment for easy release.
- Combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan using the bottom of a measuring cup for an even, compact layer.
- Chill the crust in the fridge for 10 minutes to set while you prepare the filling.
- Beat 24 oz softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Add 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract, beating until combined and glossy.
- Add the 3 eggs one at a time, mixing just until each is incorporated.
- Gently fold in 1 cup sour cream with a rubber spatula until the batter becomes silky and uniform.
- Pour the batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with an offset spatula.
- Arrange sliced peaches and 1 cup mixed berries on top in a single layer.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool in the oven for 30–60 minutes before refrigerating for at least 4 hours.
- Run a knife around the edge before releasing the springform and slice to serve.
Notes
For best results, chill overnight before serving to enhance the texture. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to avoid lumps.
