Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until golden and crumbly. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and bake for about 10 minutes. Let it cool.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Blend in the heavy cream until the mixture is creamy.
Baking
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust and bake for 50-60 minutes, until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for an hour to prevent cracking, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Topping
- Combine mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the berries soften. Cool before spreading over the cheesecake.
Serving
- Slice, serve, and enjoy the cheesecake topped with berry goodness!
Notes
Make it a day ahead for best results. Avoid overbeating the eggs to prevent cracking. Variations include using different fruits or adding chocolate drizzle.
