Description
A delightful cheesecake with rich creaminess and fruity flavors from fresh blackberries and raspberries, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups chocolate wafer cookies
- 9 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 package (6 oz) Driscoll’s blackberries, divided
- 1 cup + 2 tsp sugar, divided
- 1 package (6 oz) Driscoll’s raspberries, divided
- 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and brush a 9-inch springform pan lightly with melted butter.
- Pulse chocolate wafer cookies into crumbs using a food processor. Mix with melted butter and press into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 14 minutes, then cool completely.
- Lower the temperature to 300°F (150°C).
- Blend half of the blackberries with 1 teaspoon of sugar and strain through a sieve. Set aside.
- Blend half of the raspberries with 1 teaspoon of sugar and strain through a sieve. Set aside.
- Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add 1 cup of sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then beat in eggs one at a time until just combined.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the cooled crust, drizzling half of the blackberry and raspberry pureés over it, swirling with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining mixture and pureés.
- Bake for 1 hour until the edges are set but the center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with the door propped open for 1 hour.
- Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Garnish with remaining berries and mint leaves before serving chilled.
Notes
For best results, chill overnight. Feel free to substitute chocolate wafer cookies with graham cracker crumbs for a different crust flavor.
