For the cream cheese layer:
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the raspberry and peach slices layer:
- 1 cup fresh raspberries

For the whipped cream topping:

- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust.
- Bake: Bake the cheesecake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely.
- Fruit Layer: Once the cheesecake has cooled, arrange the fresh raspberries and peach slices on top of the cream cheese layer in an appealing pattern.
- Whipped Cream Topping: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the raspberry and peach layer, covering the fruit completely.
- Garnish: Decorate the cheesecake with additional fresh raspberries, peach slices, and mint leaves for a vibrant and inviting presentation.
- Chill: Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or until firm, before serving.
