Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 2 ripe peaches, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Press mixture into the bottom of a springform pan.
  2. Bake crust for about 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream and remaining sugar; mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then add lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour filling over cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 45–50 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool with door cracked open for about an hour.
  5. Refrigerate cheesecake for at least four hours or overnight before topping.
  6. For the fruit topping, combine mixed berries and sliced peaches in a saucepan with honey/agave syrup over medium heat for about 5 minutes until juices release. Stir in cornstarch slurry to thicken; cook for an additional minute.
  7. Allow topping to cool before spooning over the cheesecake. Chill for another 15 minutes before serving.
