Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup sour cream

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 ½ cups fresh peaches, diced

1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries)

¼ cup powdered sugar (for topping)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.

      In a large mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.

        Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth batter.

          Gently fold in the diced peaches and mixed berries into the batter.

            Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes or until the cheesecake is set and the edges are lightly golden.

                Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour with the door ajar.

                  Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

                    Before serving, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves for an extra touch of summer.
