Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 pre-made graham cracker crust
Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings
- 1/2 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Incorporate the heavy cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture while continuing to beat. Beat until the mixture becomes thick and fluffy, creating the perfect cheesecake filling texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spoon the creamy filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
- Chill the cheesecake: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours to allow it to set properly. For best results, chill overnight.
- Add fresh fruit toppings: Before serving, top the cheesecake with diced fresh peaches and a mix of blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries for a burst of summer flavor and color.
- Serve and enjoy: Slice and serve the cheesecake cold to enjoy its creamy texture and fresh fruit toppings at their best.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for the creamiest texture.
- For a firmer cheesecake, chill overnight rather than just 3 hours.
- Fresh seasonal fruits can be swapped according to availability.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
