Method
Crust Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Crust Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and salt. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and resemble wet sand.
Form the Crust
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, making sure it is evenly distributed and firmly packed.
Bake the Crust
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Filling Preparation
Prepare the Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until well combined.
Add Sour Cream and Vanilla
Mix in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Incorporate Eggs
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Do not overmix.
Add Seasonal Fruit
Fold in the seasonal fruit gently, being careful not to break it down too much.
Pour Filling into Crust
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
Bake the Cheesecake
Bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool gradually for about 1 hour.
Chill the Cheesecake
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
