Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Topping

  • 2 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups mixed berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer that will serve as the cheesecake foundation.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the sour cream and vanilla extract, blending until just combined to ensure a creamy texture without overmixing.
  3. Pour and bake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles when moved.
  4. Cool and chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the cheesecake to fully set and develop a luxurious texture.
  5. Add the berry and peach topping: Just before serving, gently arrange sliced peaches and mixed berries evenly over the chilled cheesecake to add a colorful and fresh finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to achieve a velvety smooth filling without lumps.
  • Mix ingredients just until combined to avoid incorporating air bubbles, which can cause cracks during baking.
  • Consider baking the cheesecake in a water bath by placing the springform pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water to keep the texture creamy and prevent cracking.
  • Peel peaches before slicing for a softer, silkier topping without tough skin.
  • Let the cheesecake chill overnight for the best flavor and texture development.
