Instructions
-
Make the Crust:
Mix graham cracker crumbs with sugar. Stir in melted butter until combined. Press mixture into a 9x13-inch pan and freeze while preparing filling. -
Prepare the Filling:
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream, mixing well. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then fold into the cream cheese mixture. Spread evenly over crust and chill for at least 4 hours. -
Cook the Topping:
In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and water. Simmer gently. Stir cornstarch slurry into the mixture and cook until thickened. Let cool completely before spreading on the cheesecake. -
Chill and Serve:
Once topping is added, refrigerate until fully set. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Customize with your favorite berries or add lemon zest for brightness.
For a firmer filling, ensure whipped cream reaches stiff peaks and chill longer.
Make individual portions using muffin tins for easier serving.
Topping can be thickened with more cornstarch if needed.
