Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • graham crackers crushed into fine crumbs
  • unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • cream cheese softened
  • granulated sugar
  • vanilla extract
  • eggs
  • sour cream
Fruit Topping
  • fresh peaches sliced
  • mixed berries such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
  • lemon juice
  • cornstarch

Equipment

  • Springform Pan
  • Mixer
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Pulse graham crackers into crumbs, mix with melted butter, and press into a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and cool.
  2. Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla, then mix in eggs one at a time. Fold in sour cream. Pour into crust and smooth top.
  3. Bake for 50-55 minutes until center is just set. Turn off oven, let cheesecake sit inside for 1 hour. Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  4. In a saucepan, cook peaches, berries, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch over medium heat until bubbly and slightly thickened. Cool completely.
  5. Spoon cooled fruit topping over chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Room temp ingredients help achieve smooth filling. Cheesecake slices cleanest with a hot knife.
