Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

  • cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon optional
  • 6 tbsp melted butter

For the Blackberry Swirl:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water mixed

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Press into a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Make the Blackberry Swirl: Cook blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 2 minutes. Strain to remove seeds and set aside.
  • Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until incorporated.
  • Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour half the filling over the crust, then spoon half the blackberry swirl and swirl gently with a knife. Repeat with the remaining filling and swirl. Tap the pan to remove air bubbles.
  • Bake: Bake at 325°F for 55–65 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
  • Chill & Serve: Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Remove from the springform pan and transfer to a platter. Serve and enjoy!
