Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.

- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
- In small saucepans, heat the strawberry and blueberry purees with sugar and cornstarch until they thicken. Let them cool slightly.

- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, garnish with fresh strawberries and blueberries.
Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Use fresh fruits for better flavor. Adjust sugar in purees to your preference. Be gentle when swirling for a marbled effect.
