Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1 tsp lemon juice

For the Topping:

2 peaches, pitted and sliced

1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt, stirring until well combined.

        - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

          Make the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

              - Gradually add in the sugar, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and blend until fully incorporated.

                - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

                  - Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

                    Bake the Cheesecake:

                      - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                        - Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the center appears slightly wobbly.

                          - Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

                            Cool and Chill:

                              - Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature.

                                - Once cooled, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.

                                  Prepare the Topping:

                                    - In a bowl, toss sliced peaches and mixed berries with honey or maple syrup, allowing them to marinate for about 15-20 minutes.

                                      Serve the Cheesecake:

                                        - Once the cheesecake has chilled, carefully remove it from the springform pan.

                                          - Top with the marinated peaches and berries, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                                            - Slice and serve, enjoying the burst of summer flavors in every bite!
