Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill crust in refrigerator while preparing filling.
  2. Step 2: Using an electric mixer, beat 16 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Spread cheesecake filling evenly over chilled crust. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until set.
  5. Step 5: For the berry topping, combine 2 cups mixed berries, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp cornstarch, and 2 tbsp water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and berries break down, about 5-7 minutes. Cool completely.
  6. Step 6: Spoon cooled berry topping evenly over set cheesecake before serving.
