Blackberry Cheesecake Recipe
Made with fresh blackberries, this Blackberry Cheesecake Recipe is creamy, fruity and a little bit tangy - it's your new fruity fave!
While cheesecake is never out of season, Blackberries are in season from late summer to early autumn, so this is the perfect cheesecake to take you from a hot Summer to a cosy Autumn - just like your favourite jumper.
This Blackberry Cheesecake is also a great way to use up any leftover blackberries from your summer fruit picking. If you don't have any in, grab a basket and head to the hedgerow!
This beautiful baked cheesecake with deep purple hues is made with a biscuit base, fresh blackberries and a cheesecake filling made with cream cheese, double cream and eggs, flavoured with vanilla extract and lots of fresh blackberries.
It's a super simple assembly with delightfully complex flavours based on true classics.
To make your cheesecake, you'll first make the biscuit base by blitzing digestive biscuits (or graham crackers) in a food processor and mixing them with melted butter. Then you'll press into a lined tin to form your base.
Now you're ready to make the cheesecake filling, by mixing together the cream, cream cheese, eggs, flour and a touch of vanilla and then gently folding in chopped blackberries, stirring the mixture ever so briefly so leave a swirled pattern inside.
Finally, you'll pile the mixture into a tin, top with more blackberries and bake!
Once your cheesecake is cooked and has had time to set overnight, you can serve it as a dessert after dinner or even enjoy a slice at brunch with a cup of coffee.
Blackberry Cheesecake is also great for sharing at parties, picnics and potlucks - everyone will love it!
As you can see, this Blackberry Cheesecake recipe is super easy to whip up! So if you've picked too many blackberries, or just fancy picking some up from the local shop, this is the perfect way to use them up!
The full recipe is below with plenty of clear pictures and instructions. I hope you give it a try!
