Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.

Bake the Crust
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until set. Remove from the oven and allow to cool while preparing the filling.

Prepare the Berry Mixture
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries are soft and the mixture has thickened slightly.

Create the Swirl
Remove the berry mixture from heat and let it cool slightly. Drop spoonfuls of the berry mixture over the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the berry mixture into the cheesecake, creating a marbled effect.

Bake the Cheesecake
Bake the cheesecake in the oven at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door, allowing the cheesecake to cool slowly for about 1 hour.

Chill and Serve
After cooling in the oven, remove the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Once chilled, remove the sides of the springform pan, slice, and serve.
