Preheat your oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to create an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, about 2β3 minutes.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50β60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly when gently shaken.
Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to set fully.
Before serving, top the cheesecake with the mixed berries. If desired, gently heat the berry jam or preserve and drizzle it over the top for a glossy finish.
Slice and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
