Blueberry Raspberry And Blackberry Cheesecake Recipes

BLACKBERRY SWIRL CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• For the crust: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
• Add the cookies and sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated with the butter.
• Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Bake until set, 15 to 18 minutes; let cool completely on a rack, 30 minutes.
• Wrap the bottom and sides of the pan with a large piece of foil and put it in a large roasting pan.
• For the filling: Beat together the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Add the sour cream and beat until just combined. Add the heavy cream and beat until just combined. Mix in the eggs by hand, one at a time, until just combined. Mix in the vanilla by hand until just combined. (Take care not to overmix or the cheesecake will turn into a souffle!). Set aside.
• Puree half the blackberries in a blender until completely smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and ladle in 1/4 cup of the cheesecake mixture. Stir to combine. Pour the remaining plain cheesecake batter into the crust.
• Use an ice cream scoop or large spoon to drop scoopfuls of the blackberry batter on top of the plain batter. Drag a long wooden skewer through the batter, making sure the skewer reaches down to the bottom, to marble the colors for a tie-dye effect. Add enough hot water to the roasting pan to come about halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
• Bake until the outside of the cheesecake is set, but the center is still slightly loose, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
• Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan to a cooling rack. Run a knife around the edge of the pan and let the cheesecake cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to 12 hours.
• Run a knife around the edge of the pan one more time, then open the pan clasp to release the sides. Transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter or cake stand. Smooth the edges of the cheesecake with a knife. Slice and serve with whipped cream and the remaining blackberries.

BLACKBERRY CHEESECAKE SQUARES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the crust: Line a 9-by-13-inch rectangular baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Place the vanilla wafers and pecans into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbs. Add the melted butter and pulse again until combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan. (If they come up the sides, that's okay!)
• For the filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Add the sour cream and mix again.
• Pour the filling into the crust, smooth the top and bake for 50 minutes. Turn off the oven, open the oven door and allow the pan to sit in the open oven for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside to cool.
• For the topping: Add the blackberries, sugar and 1/4 cup water to a saucepan or skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the juices thicken slightly, 4 to 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, make a slurry by stirring together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add the slurry to the berries, return to the boil and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and cool the mixture.
• Pour the blackberries over the cheesecake and place the pan into the fridge to cool and set for at least 2 hours (several hours is better).
• When ready to serve, remove the cheesecake from the pan by lifting the edges of the foil. Slice into 15 pieces with a long serrated knife.

RASPBERRY AND BLUEBERRY COBBLER

• Mix flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; mash butter into the flour mixture until crumbly. Stir boiling water into the flour mixture to form a dough.
• Dissolve cornstarch in cold water in a separate large bowl. Stir blueberries, raspberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice into the cornstarch mixture; transfer to a cast-iron skillet and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Drop dough into the skillet by the spoonful. Put skillet onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until the topping is golden brown, about 25 minutes.

NO BAKE BLACKBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Butter 2 8cm chef steel ring moulds and put on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Crush the biscuits to crumb and pour on the melted butter and mix thoroughly. Take 2 tablespoons of the crumb and press into each mould, firming down to create the cheesecake base. Place the tray in the fridge for about 20 minutes.
• Whisk the cream, sugar and cream cheese to a fairly stiff mix. Separate into even amounts in two bowls. Crush 10 blackberries through a sieve, collecting the juice in a small bowl and discard the seeds left over.
• Pour 2 teaspoons of the juice into one of the fillings and stir until combined. Pour this on top of the set biscuit bases and place back in the fridge for 10 minutes.
• Pour the creamy cheesecake filling on top of the blackberry filling being careful not to mix the two layers. Then drop a few drops of blackberry juice on top of the cheesecake and swirl to decorate. Place back in the fridge to set for about 4 hours or overnight.
