Preparing the Biscuit Base

Start by finely crushing the graham crackers or similar biscuits into fine crumbs. Mix these crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create a solid base, and chill in the refrigerator to set.

Mixing the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream (or heavy cream), and vanilla extract. Beat these ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Pour the filling over the prepared biscuit base.

Baking the Cheesecake

Preheat your oven and bake the cheesecake until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. This typically takes about 45-55 minutes. Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven with the door ajar to prevent cracking.

Adding the Fruit Topping

Once the cheesecake has cooled, arrange your choice of canned or fresh fruit on top of the cheesecake for a tangy and sweet topping. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours before serving.
