Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups blackberries
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan to form the crust. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator to chill while making the blackberry topping.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Stir constantly and cook until the mixture thickens and the blackberries break down slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Allow the blackberry mixture to cool to room temperature, then spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer in the pan.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
Slice into squares and serve. Enjoy your Blackberry Cream Cheese Dessert!
