Ingredients
For the Berry Topping

- 6 oz fresh raspberries, divided
- 6 oz fresh blackberries, divided
- 8 oz fresh strawberries, diced and divided
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Graham Cracker Crust
- 12 graham crackers
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cream Cheese Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Graham Cracker Crust
- Finely crush the graham crackers in a food processor or zip-top bag.
- Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.

- Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Prepare the Berry Topping

- Remove from heat and fold in the remaining fresh berries for texture and freshness.
- Let cool completely before topping the pie.
Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.

- Pour the cooled berry topping over the filling, spreading it evenly.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
