Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed digestive biscuits
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cheesecake Mixture:
- 4 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
Fruit Layer:
- 1 cup fresh peaches, thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Crust Setup: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (162°C). In a medium bowl, combine crushed digestive biscuits, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until everything is combined. Then, press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- Cheesecake Base: In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Finally, fold in the sour cream to give the cheesecake its signature tangy flavor and smooth texture.
- Fruity Creation: Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust. Carefully layer the thinly sliced peaches and fresh raspberries over the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Next, pour the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top to seal in the fruit.
- Bake Perfection: Arrange additional peach slices and raspberries on top of the cheesecake to create a beautiful presentation. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Chill & Serve: Once the cheesecake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. After it has cooled completely, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. This chilling time is crucial for achieving the perfect texture. When ready to serve, garnish with whipped cream, fresh peach slices, raspberries, and perhaps a sprig of mint for a colorful, fresh touch.

- Ensure that your cream cheese is fully softened before starting the recipe. This will make it easier to blend smoothly with the other ingredients, preventing lumps in your cheesecake.
- Be patient with the chilling process! Allowing your cheesecake to rest in the fridge for a few hours will help it firm up and intensify the flavors.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture. It complements the fruit layers beautifully!
