Description

A delightful dessert combining a creamy filling with a buttery crust and fresh mixed berries, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 graham crackers, crushed
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1.5 lbs cream cheese (3, 8 oz packages), room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 eggs plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 2/3 cup jelly (any red or berry flavor; blackberry recommended)
  • 3 cups fresh berries, cut in half if large

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until they are moistened. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 7-inch springform pan, bringing it up about 1 inch along the sides. Bake for 8 minutes and then let it cool.
  2. Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
  3. In a mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar until fluffy and smooth.
  4. Add in the eggs and yolk one at a time, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream, then mix on low speed until everything is smooth.
  5. Pour the batter into the cooled crust. Bake for 12 minutes, then reduce the oven heat to 225°F (110°C) and bake for an additional 60 minutes. The center will have a slight wobble when done.
  6. Turn off the oven and leave the door slightly open, letting the cheesecake cool inside for 30 minutes. Remove it and let cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, then cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least a few hours or overnight.
  7. For the Berry Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the jelly over low heat until thin. Add the fresh berries and toss gently to coat in the jelly. Spoon this sauce over the chilled cheesecake.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps. Let the cheesecake cool slowly in the oven to reduce the risk of cracking.
