Berry Topping
Method
Preparation
Make the Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Add the sour cream and mix until smooth. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until just combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven for 1 hour to cool gradually.
Prepare the Berry Topping
In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the berries are softened and the mixture is syrupy. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble and Chill
Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, spread the berry topping evenly over the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
