Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version)
½ cup melted butter
¼ cup sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened (use dairy-free cream cheese for a lactose-intolerant version)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups heavy whipping cream (use dairy-free whipped topping for a lactose-intolerant version)

For the Topping:

1 cup mixed berry jam (raspberry or blueberry, or a combination)
Fresh raspberries and blueberries for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until well mixed and the crumbs are fully coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to form an even, firm crust. Refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the prepared crust and spread evenly. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Add the Berry Layer:
Spoon the mixed berry jam over the cheesecake filling and spread it evenly. You can use a swirl pattern or spread it all over for a more even topping.
Chill:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it is set and firm.
Serve:
Before serving, garnish with fresh raspberries and blueberries on top. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
For a lactose-intolerant version, substitute dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping.
You can adjust the sweetness of the cheesecake filling by adding more or less powdered sugar, depending on your taste preference.
