Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or gluten-free graham cracker crumbs)
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers until finely ground and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and mix until combined. Stir in sour cream, then add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Finally, mix in vanilla extract.
- Add the Fruit: Gently fold diced fresh peaches and mixed berries into the cheesecake batter, ensuring even distribution without breaking the fruit.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-65 minutes until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles when tapped.
- Cool and Chill: Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and develop flavors.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth batter.
- Do not overmix to avoid cracks in the cheesecake.
- Consider baking with a water bath to maintain even heat and prevent cracking.
- Choose the ripest peaches and freshest berries for best results.
- Chill cheesecake properly for firm slices and optimal flavor.
