Description

Berry Peach Cheesecake is a delightful dessert that perfectly balances the fresh, juicy flavors of ripe peaches and mixed berries with a smooth, creamy cheesecake filling on a crunchy graham cracker crust. Ideal for summer gatherings or any celebration, this easy-to-make cheesecake combines simple pantry ingredients with vibrant fruit toppings to create a beautiful and irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 oz (3 packages) softened cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or heavy cream

Fruit Topping

  • 2 large fresh peaches, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with melted butter until evenly combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to help it set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to mix. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next. Finally, gently fold in sour cream or heavy cream to reach a luscious, creamy consistency.
  3. Layer the Fruit: Arrange thinly sliced peaches evenly over the chilled crust. Carefully pour the cheesecake filling over the peaches, spreading it smoothly with a spatula. Distribute the mixed berries decoratively over the top, pressing some lightly into the batter for a visually appealing finish.
  4. Bake and Cool: Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (163°C) until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center, about 50-60 minutes. Let it cool gradually in the oven with the door slightly open to prevent cracking. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to fully firm up and develop flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature before mixing for a smooth filling.
  • Baking with a water bath or placing a pan of water in the oven helps prevent cracks by maintaining moisture.
  • Use fresh, ripe peaches and berries for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Cool the cheesecake gradually to avoid sudden temperature changes and cracking.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly to allow the cheesecake to set properly and deepen its taste.
