Description
A creamy, dreamy No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake that embodies the flavors of summer with rich cream cheese filling and fresh blackberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh blackberries, plus extra for garnish
- 1/4 cup sugar (for blackberry topping)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs resemble wet sand, then firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, ensuring not to deflate the cream.
- Pour the filling: Carefully pour the cream cheese filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for a minimum of 240 minutes or until set.
- Prepare the topping: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups of fresh blackberries, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the berries break down and the mixture becomes syrupy. Allow cool before topping the cheesecake.
- Serve: Once the cheesecake has set, pour the berry topping over the filling, decoratively arrange extra blackberries on top, slice, and serve chilled.
