For the Topping:
- 1 cup fresh berries strawberries, raspberries, blueberries

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!
