Instructions
Step 1
Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Stir together graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar in a large bowl; add melted butter, and stir until well combined. Press graham cracker mixture into bottom and about 3/4 inch up sides of prepared pan. Freeze, uncovered, while preparing filling, about 15 minutes.
Step 2
Beat cream cheese and 3/4 cup of the powdered sugar in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on low speed just until combined, 30 seconds to 1 minute; scrape down sides. Add additional 1/4 cup powdered sugar, if desired. Increase mixer speed to medium; beat until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add sour cream, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, and salt; beat on medium speed until well combined, about 1 minute. Set aside.
Step 3
Whisk heavy whipping cream in a large bowl by hand until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture just until combined. Spoon cream cheese mixture into chilled crust, smoothing top. Chill, covered, until set, at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.

To serve, carefully remove sides of springform pan, and place cheesecake on a plate. Top with berries; garnish with flowers and mint, if desired.
