Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 2

    Mix the Crust Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined and the mixture resembles wet sand.

  3. 3

    Form the Crust

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, then remove and let it cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Beat the Cream Cheese

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Sour Cream

    Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix on medium speed until well incorporated.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Eggs

    Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary.

  4. 7

    Add Flour

    Finally, add the all-purpose flour and mix just until combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 8

    Pour the Filling

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Baking and Cooling

  1. 9

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.

  2. 10

    Chill the Cheesecake

    Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Topping Preparation

  1. 11

    Prepare the Berries

    In a medium bowl, toss the fresh mixed berries with powdered sugar. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to release their juices.

  2. 12

    Serve the Cheesecake

    Release the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with the berry mixture and garnish with mint leaves before serving.
