‘Tis the season for cheesecake!! 🙂 Okay, it is really always the season for cheesecake in my opinion but with spring & summer comes fresh fruit. So, for our Sunday dessert I made a fresh fruit cheesecake!

Original Recipe Yield 12-16 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 cups  Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 6 tbsp butter, melted
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 5 packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 eggs
  • The zest of 2 lemon
Topping
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees F if using a silver 9 inch springform pan. Mix crumbs, 6 tbsp sugar, and butter; press firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  2. Beat cream cheese, sugar, flour and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time. Then add the zest, mixing on low-speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.
  3. Bake 1 hour 10 minutes or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  4. Mix sour cream, sugar, and vanilla until well blended. Spread evenly over cheesecake and top with fresh fruit!
  5. Enjoy!!
