Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Crust

    In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Press into Pan

    Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust layer. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Cool the Crust

    Remove the crust from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Filling Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

  2. 5

    Add Sugar and Sour Cream

    Gradually add granulated sugar and sour cream to the cream cheese, mixing until well incorporated.

  3. 6

    Incorporate Vanilla and Eggs

    Add the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully mixed before adding the next.

  4. 7

    Add Flour

    Finally, add the all-purpose flour and mix on low speed until just combined.

  5. 8

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the filling mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  6. 9

    Bake the Cheesecake

    Bake in the preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for 55-65 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

  7. 10

    Cool Down

    Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour to cool gradually. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

Topping Preparation

  1. 11

    Prepare the Topping

    In a bowl, toss the fresh berries with powdered sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to macerate.

  2. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Before serving, top the cheesecake with the macerated berries and garnish with mint leaves.
