Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own Summer Berry and Peach Cheesecake:
1. Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well blended.
2. Press into Pan: Evenly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Use the back of a measuring cup to pack it tightly.
3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue mixing until fully combined.
4. Add Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix for another minute until smooth.
5. Fill the Crust: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6. Add Fruit: Arrange the mixed berries and peach slices on top of the cheesecake layer. Press them gently into the filling.
7. Chill the Cheesecake: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
8. Remove the Springform: Once chilled, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
9. Garnish: Optionally, you can add a few extra berries or a drizzle of fruit syrup before serving for a lovely garnish.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut into wedges, serve, and enjoy this refreshing treat!
