Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 24 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 cups Fresh blackberries
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the sour cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.

Step 6

Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate each egg. Avoid overmixing.

Step 7

Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.

Step 9

Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake remain inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool gradually.

Step 10

In a small saucepan, combine fresh blackberries, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blackberries soften, about 5 minutes.

Step 11

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the blackberry topping cool to room temperature.

Step 12

Once the cheesecake has fully cooled, spread the blackberry topping evenly over the cheesecake.

Step 13

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for the best texture and flavor.

Step 14

Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
