Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup blackberry jam
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until blended.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Spoon 1/2 cup blackberry jam over the mixture, then pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the top.
- Spoon the remaining 1/2 cup blackberry jam over the top and use a knife to gently swirl it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until the center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then run a knife around the edge to loosen. Cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh blackberries and raspberries.
Notes
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest mixture.
- Swirl the jam gently to create a marbled effect without mixing it too thoroughly into the cream cheese.
