Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 cups sour cream

For the fruit topping:

1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced

1 cup blueberries

1 cup kiwi, peeled and sliced

1 cup pineapple chunks

¼ cup honey or maple syrup (optional)

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream until fully incorporated.

      Bake the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to avoid cracking.

        Chill the cheesecake: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until it's thoroughly chilled and set.

          Prepare the fruit topping: While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the fruit. In a medium bowl, mix the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and pineapple. If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup to enhance sweetness. Toss gently to combine.

            Assemble the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is set, run a knife around the edges of the springform pan and carefully remove the sides. Top the cheesecake evenly with the prepared fruit mixture and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

              Serve and enjoy: Slice the cheesecake and serve chilled. Enjoy the refreshing and fruity twist of this delicious cheesecake!
