A creamy and fruity Summer Berry Peach Cheesecake combining ripe peaches and mixed summer berries atop a crunchy graham cracker crust, delivering a luscious texture and vibrant flavors perfect for any summer celebration.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 24 oz (about 680g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional)

Topping

  • 2 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 1 cup mixed summer berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1–2 teaspoons granulated sugar (optional, for berries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined and crumbly. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even layer. Chill crust for at least 15 minutes to set before adding filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar and mix until fully incorporated. Beat in sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. If using, sift in all-purpose flour and mix until just combined to stabilize the filling.
  3. Assemble and bake: Pour creamy filling over chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 50 to 60 minutes, or until just set but slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool inside for one hour to prevent cracking.
  4. Chill and prepare topping: After cooling to room temperature, refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. Meanwhile, slice fresh peaches and toss mixed summer berries lightly with lemon juice and optional sugar.
  5. Add the fruit topping: Before serving, arrange peach slices and mixed berries beautifully over the chilled cheesecake surface to add color and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and sour cream to avoid lumps and ensure creamy filling.
  • Do not overbake; a slight jiggle in the center means it will firm up as it cools.
  • Chill the cheesecake thoroughly before adding the fruit topping to keep it fresh and firm.
  • Choose ripe but firm peaches for the best flavor and texture.
  • Using a water bath during baking can help prevent cracks and ensure even cooking (optional).
