This No-Bake Summer Berry Cheesecake is a delightful blend of creamy cheesecake filling and a crunchy graham cracker crust, topped with a medley of fresh summer berries. It offers a sweet and slightly tangy taste, perfectly balanced with the richness of the cream cheese.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups mixed summer berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, creating a light and airy filling.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Top with the mixed summer berries, pressing them slightly into the filling.
Chill: Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For best results, leave it overnight.
Serve: Once set, remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice and enjoy this refreshing summer dessert!
