Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
For the berry topping:
1 1/2 cups mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream. Pour over the crust and bake for 45-50 minutes until the center is set. Turn off the oven and let cool inside for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
For the berry topping, heat berries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until thickened, then add lemon juice. Let cool before spreading over the cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and serve chilled. Enjoy!
