- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened

Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix 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.
- Add fruit: Stir in the pureed peaches and lemon juice until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Arrange mixed berries on top for a beautiful finish.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight chilling is ideal.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh mint, white chocolate shavings, or extra berries if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for the smoothest filling.
