Description

A delicious blend of creamy cheesecake with tangy blackberry sauce, perfect for special occasions or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese, very soft
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 2 cups frozen blackberries
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup of sugar and beat for 2 more minutes. Slowly mix in heavy cream, sour cream, and vanilla bean paste. Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time, mixing just until combined. Pour the batter into the crust.
  4. Place the springform pan inside a larger cake pan, then set both in a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan halfway with hot water. Bake for 60-70 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then cool on a wire rack before chilling in the fridge for at least 8 hours.
  5. In a saucepan, combine 3/4 of the blackberries, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and lemon zest over medium heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and lemon juice, then stir this mixture into the saucepan. After 5 minutes, add the remaining blackberries and cook for 1 more minute. Let cool.
  6. Loosen the cheesecake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving plate. Pour the blackberry sauce over the cheesecake. Optionally, pipe whipped cream around the edges and top it with fresh blackberries. Let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the cream cheese is very soft to prevent lumps in the filling. You can use fresh blackberries instead of frozen ones.
