Ingredients

For the Crust
200g (about 2 cups) graham crackers or digestive biscuits, crushed
1/2 cup (120g) melted unsalted butter
2 tbsp sugar
For the filling
16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup (250g) fresh blackberries, pureed
For the Topping
1 cup (250g) fresh blackberries
2 tbsp blackberry jam (optional for glaze)

Directions

Prepare the Crust: Mix the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s even. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Make the Filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue to mix until the filling becomes fluffy. Fold in the blackberry puree gently until well incorporated.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or until set.
Add the Topping: Before serving, place fresh blackberries on top of the cheesecake. For a glossy finish, warm the blackberry jam slightly and drizzle over the berries.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
Crust Options: Try using crushed Oreo cookies or ginger snaps for a fun twist on the base.
