For the crust:

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs

For the topping:

• Assorted fresh fruits: kiwi, pineapple, peaches, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mandarins
• Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:
Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly mixed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan and refrigerate while you prepare the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped cream gently to create a light, airy texture.
