1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh raspberries
1 large peach, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional fresh raspberries
Peach slices
Mint leaves
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
In a clean bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Once cooled, arrange raspberries and peach slices evenly over the cheesecake layer.
In another bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream over the fruit layer.
Garnish with extra raspberries, peach slices, and fresh mint.
Chill the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better).
Slice, serve, and enjoy!
For easy slicing, run your knife under warm water before each cut.
If peaches are not in season, canned peaches (drained well) can be used.
