Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 oz. cream cheese
  • ½ c. sour cream
  • ½ c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 1½ tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1 c. fresh berries (rinsed and patted dry)
  • 10 graham crackers (finely crushed)
  • 3 tbsp. sugar
  • 4 tbsp. ½ stick butter, melted
  • 1 c. all-purpose flour
  • ¼ c. brown sugar
  • ¼ c. sugar
  • 8 tbsp. butter (cold)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Line an 8×8 square baking pan with parchment paper
  • In a medium size mixing bowl combine crust ingredients, then spread into prepared pan, creating an even layer.
  • Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove and allow to cool while preparing the remaining components.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all berry ingredients, toss gently to combine, set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for crumble topping.
  • Cut the butter in with a pastry blender until the mixture is coarse, set aside.
  • In mixer bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream and sugar until smooth. NOTE: it’s vital that the cream cheese, sour cream and eggs are at room temperature,to avoid clumpy batter
  • On low, add vanilla, salt and one egg.
  • Mix until just combined, then add the remaining egg, mixing until incorporated.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust.
  • Spread evenly with a spatula.
  • Carefully top with berry mixture
  • Finally, top with crumble taking care to just cover - but do not make the layer too thick. You probably won't use all of the crumble.
  • Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cheesecake has set and the crumble is lightly golden brown in color.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for 2 hours or until it reaches room temperature.
  • Place in refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours before removing, cutting and serving.
