Description

This Berry and Peach Cheesecake is a luscious no-bake dessert featuring a creamy cream cheese filling atop a crunchy graham cracker crust, crowned with fresh diced peaches and a medley of mixed berries. Perfectly sweetened and chilled for hours, it offers a refreshing, fruity finish ideal for warm days or any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Topping

  • 1/2 cup fresh peaches, diced
  • 1/2 cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Incorporate Heavy Cream: Gradually add the heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture while continuously beating until the filling becomes thick and fluffy, which will give the cheesecake its airy texture.
  3. Fill the Crust: Spoon the prepared cream cheese filling into the pre-made graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly and smoothing the top with a spatula for an even surface.
  4. Chill the Cheesecake: Place the filled crust in the refrigerator and chill for at least 3 hours; however, for best results, chill it overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up completely.
  5. Add Fresh Fruit Topping: Before serving, top the chilled cheesecake with the diced fresh peaches and the mixed berries, distributing the fruits evenly for a colorful and flavorful presentation.
  6. Serve: Serve the cheesecake cold, slicing into portions and enjoying the creamy, fruity dessert at its best.

Notes

  • Chilling the cheesecake overnight improves texture and flavor.
  • Use fresh, ripe peaches and berries for the best taste and visual appeal.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the filling.
  • This cheesecake is a no-bake recipe, making preparation quick and easy.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey or fruit syrup on top before serving if desired.
