Method
Base Preparation
Prepare the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Form the Base
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Ensure it's evenly spread to create a solid crust.
Chill the Crust
Place the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set while preparing the filling.
Filling Preparation
Mix the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until well combined.
Add Flavorings
Mix in the vanilla extract, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until fully incorporated.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Combine and Pour
Once the mixture is smooth and fluffy, pour it onto the chilled graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
Chill the Filling
Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Topping Preparation
Prepare the Topping
Once the filling is set, remove the cake from the refrigerator. Top with sliced strawberries and blueberries, arranging them decoratively.
Garnish
Add mint leaves on top for a fresh garnish. Serve immediately for the best flavor.
