Learn how to make delicious Summer Berry and Peach Cheesecake. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8-ounce) packages of cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Optional: mint leaves for garnish

If you’re out of graham crackers, you can substitute with digestive biscuits or even vanilla wafers. For a tangy twist, consider swapping one of the peaches for nectarines.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake the crust for about 10 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool while you prepare the filling.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed just until blended. Overbeating can cause cracks, so keep it gentle!
  6. Gently fold in the sour cream, cornstarch, and lemon juice until just mixed.
  7. Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust. Arrange half of the blueberries, raspberries, and peach slices over the batter.
  8. Spread the remaining batter over the fruit layer, then top with the remaining berries and peaches, pressing them lightly into the filling.
  9. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set but still jiggles slightly. Remember, like my abuela always said, it’s okay to trust your instincts here!
  10. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour. This prevents sudden temperature changes that could cause cracking.
  11. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
  12. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
