Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Topping
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined, then press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Beat or stir until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust in the baking dish. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Prepare the topping: While the cheesecake is baking, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the diced peaches and raspberries to incorporate them evenly without deflating the cream.
- Assemble and chill: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool. Then, spread the whipped cream and fruit topping over the cheesecake. Refrigerate until chilled before serving to enhance flavors and texture.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Use fresh, ripe peaches and raspberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the cheesecake thoroughly to allow it to set properly before serving.
- You can substitute graham cracker crumbs with digestive biscuits if preferred.
- For a more intense flavor, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling mixture.
