  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients and prepare to create a cheesecake that’s both impressive and incredibly easy to make. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
  • 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water

If you’re missing any of these ingredients, don’t worry. For the crust, you can substitute graham crackers with digestive biscuits or even crushed pretzels for a salty twist. No fresh peaches? Canned peaches work just as well, and you can swap the berries depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand.

Instructions

Let’s walk through the steps to make this delightful cheesecake. Trust me, it’s easier than you think!

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Be careful not to overmix, as this can introduce too much air into the batter.
  5. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan, spreading evenly.
  6. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, berries, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and the fruit is tender, about 5 minutes.
  7. Gently spoon the fruit mixture over the cheesecake batter, using a knife to swirl it through lightly.
  8. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but still jiggly. Remove from oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
