1 cup fresh mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
10 -

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan so your cheesecake won't stick.
02 -
Mix your graham cracker crumbs with the sugar and melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to create a solid base.
03 -
Beat the cream cheese in a large bowl until it's smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and vanilla, then continue beating until everything's well mixed.
04 -
Add each egg one at a time, mixing well after each one goes in. This helps create that perfect cheesecake texture.
05 -
Stir in the sour cream until your batter is smooth. Pour it over your prepared crust in the springform pan.
06 -
Arrange your peach slices and fresh berries on top of the batter in whatever pattern you like.
07 -
Bake for 50-60 minutes until the center is mostly set but might still wobble slightly. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Use a mix of your favorite berries for variety and color.
02 -
Garnish with additional fresh berries and peach slices just before serving for a beautiful presentation.
03 -
For best results, let the cream cheese come to room temperature before beating it.
