How to Make Mixed Berry Cheesecake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the crust: Combine 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter. Mix until moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8 minutes. Cool completely to room temperature.
- Raise oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
- Reduce mixer speed to medium. Add 4 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Scrape down the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low speed, add 1 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the filling into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 450°F (230°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 225°F (107°C) and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, prop open the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature (2-3 hours).
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Run a hot knife around the edge of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan before removing.
- Make the topping: Gently melt ½ cup currant jelly in a small saucepan over low heat.
- In a bowl, toss 2 cups mixed berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries, strawberries) with the warm jelly until coated.
- Spread the berry mixture over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
