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 Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Incorporate the Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture while continuing to beat until the filling becomes thick and fluffy, indicating it is well aerated and ready to set.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Spoon the creamy filling evenly into the pre-made graham cracker crust, then use a spatula to smooth the top for an even surface.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled cheesecake in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld.
- Add Fresh Fruit Toppings: Just before serving, arrange the diced peaches and mixed berries over the top of the chilled cheesecake to add fresh flavor, color, and texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cheesecake and serve cold for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For a firmer cheesecake, chill overnight.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
- Substitute any berries with your favorite fresh fruits if desired.
- Ensure heavy cream is cold before whipping for best volume.
