Crust

Cheesecake Filling

Method

Crust

1

Prepare the Crust

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer.

2

Bake the Crust

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Cheesecake Filling

3

Make the Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and mix until combined. Then mix in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth.

4

Add the Eggs

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

5

Pour and Bake

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the oven at 325°F (165°C) for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door to let the cheesecake cool gradually for 1 hour.

6

Chill the Cheesecake

After cooling in the oven, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Berry Compote

7

Prepare the Compote

In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Cook, stirring gently, until the berries begin to break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

8

Cool the Compote

Remove from heat and let the berry compote cool before serving. You can refrigerate it for later use.
