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). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press this crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until the mixture is smooth and creamy without lumps.
- Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture 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 but mostly firm.
- Prepare the whipped topping: While the cheesecake cools, whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the diced peaches and raspberries to preserve their texture and freshness.
- Assemble and serve: Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, spread the fruit-infused whipped cream evenly over the top. Refrigerate if desired to chill further, then serve to enjoy a light and fruity summer dessert.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Be gentle when folding in fruit to keep the whipped cream light and airy.
- Chill the cheesecake before serving for best texture and flavor.
- Fresh peaches can be substituted with frozen if out of season; thaw and drain to avoid excess moisture.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
