Lemon-Blackberry Cheesecake
Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 pounds cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 pints blackberries
- 3/4 cup milk
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 4 eggs
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚. Grease a 9-inch springform pan with 1 tablespoon of the butter. Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl. Press onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan.
In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to combine the cream cheese with the sugar until smooth. Blend in the milk, then beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in the sour cream, flour, and vanilla until smooth. Divide the mixture between two bowls.
In a food processor or blender, purée 1 pint of the blackberries with the lemon zest and juice. Pour the purée into one bowl of the cheese mixture along with the remaining 1⁄2 pint of whole blackberries and mix well.
