Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
0.5 cups sugar
0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup sour cream (can substitute with Greek yogurt)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), fresh

Instructions

Preparation of the Crust: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. The mixture should hold together when squeezed.
Pressing and Baking the Crust: Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Allow to cool while preparing the filling.
Making the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a handheld mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy—about 2 minutes. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
Combining and Chilling: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
Serving: Before serving, top your cheesecake with the mixed berries, evenly distributing them over the surface for that stunning burst of color. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into desired portions. Enjoy your Berry Cheesecake Bliss with your family and friends!

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
For a lighter option, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours to achieve the best texture.
Use fresh berries for the topping to maintain vibrant color and flavor.
Press the crust mixture firmly to avoid crumbling when slicing.
