  • Total Time: 5 hours
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Scale

Blackberry Topping

  • 6 oz. blackberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Crust

  • 1 sleeve graham crackers, crushed (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
  • 2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, preferably full fat
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Make blackberry topping: Simmer blackberries, sugar, and lime juice until blackberries break down and mixture thickens, about 8 minutes. Strain through fine mesh strainer; let cool.
  2. Make crust: Pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs. Mix with sugar and melted butter until mixture resembles wet sand. Press into an 8″x8″ dish and pack tightly.
  3. Make filling: Beat cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside. Beat cream cheese with remaining powdered sugar, then add Greek yogurt, vanilla, lime juice, and salt until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup whipped cream, then fold in remaining whipped cream gently.
  4. Pour filling over crust and smooth. Drop spoonfuls of blackberry topping over cheesecake. Use toothpick to swirl topping. Add more topping as desired.
  5. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Notes

  • Use extra blackberry sauce when serving for more flavor.
  • For best results, use fresh blackberries rather than frozen.
  • Can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
