Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup fresh berries strawberries, raspberries, blueberries
  • 1 –2 ripe peaches thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp peach jam or honey warmed (optional glaze)

Instructions

  • Make the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill for 10–15 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Assemble: Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
  • Top with fruit: Once set, top cheesecake with fresh berries and sliced peaches. For a glossy finish, brush lightly with warmed honey or peach jam.
  • Serve: Slice with a sharp knife, wiping between cuts. Serve chilled and enjoy every fruity, creamy bite!

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps.
  • Chill overnight for the best set and cleanest slices.
  • Feel free to swap in nectarines, cherries, or blackberries.
  • Want it extra citrusy? Add more lemon zest to the filling.
  • You can freeze individual slices—just wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
