Ingredients
– 1 cup cream cheese, softened
– ½ cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup heavy whipping cream

– 2 tablespoons lemon juice
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
– Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Making Mixed-Berry Cheesecake Coupes is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Berries: Rinse the mixed berries and pat them dry. Cut strawberries in half if they are large.
2. Cook Berries for Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries with lemon juice and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
3. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Whip Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This adds lightness to the cheesecake filling.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
6. Layer the Coupes: In serving glasses or bowls, start layering the cheesecake filling and the berry mixture. Begin with a layer of cheesecake, then add a layer of mixed berries. Repeat until the glass is filled, finishing with a layer of berries on top.
7. Add Topping: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for added texture.
8. Chill: Cover the assembled coupes and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
9. Garnish & Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves for an added touch.
