Yield:12 servings 1x
Ingredients
Scale
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup sugar
3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
½ cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup assorted fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
Mint leaves for garnish
Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and allow it to cool while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth using an electric mixer.
Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, and mix on low speed until just combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low after each addition until combined.
Fold in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
After an hour, remove from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for another hour before transferring it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
When you’re ready to serve, carefully run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake and remove the sides of the springform pan. Top with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and mint leaves.
