Ingredients

For the crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs The crispy and sweet base of your cheesecake.
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar Adds a touch of sweetness to the crust.
  • 0.33 cups unsalted butter, melted Creates a rich and buttery texture.

For the filling

  • 2 packages cream cheese, softened (8 oz each) The star of the cheesecake, offering that rich and creamy filling.
  • 0.5 cups powdered sugar For that extra hint of sweetness that blends seamlessly.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances the flavor with a warm, aromatic touch.
  • 1 cup whipped cream Lightens the filling and gives it an airy texture.

For the fruit topping

  • 2 cups fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries) Juicy and vibrant, these bring a refreshing tartness.
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar Helps to sweeten the topping perfectly.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch A thickening agent for the berry sauce.
  • 0.25 cups water To cook down the berries.

Instructions

Preparation

  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it’s incredibly smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped cream until it’s all blended.

Assembling the Cheesecake

  • Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.
  • In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Spoon the berry mixture over the cheesecake filling.

Chilling and Serving

  • Cover the pan and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
  • Before serving, garnish with additional fresh berries if desired. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping for extra fluffy whipped cream. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to prevent lumps. Feel free to use other toppings or fruits based on preference.
