Ingredients

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For the blackberry topping:

2 cups fresh blackberries

¼ cup granulated sugar

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly moistened. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even crust. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and blend until well combined, ensuring a lump-free mixture.

Step 3: Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice, blending until smooth. The lemon juice adds a tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the cream cheese.

Step 4: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 5: Pour the cheesecake filling onto the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for the best texture.

Step 6: To make the blackberry topping, combine fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a pot over medium heat. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the blackberries break down and the mixture thickens.

Step 7: Remove from heat and let the blackberry mixture cool completely before spreading it over the chilled cheesecake.

Step 8: Once cooled, spread the blackberry topping evenly over the cheesecake, covering it completely for a beautiful presentation.

Step 9: Garnish with fresh blackberries and a dusting of powdered sugar before slicing.

Step 10: Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful flavors of your homemade blackberry cheesecake.
