Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.25 cups 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.33 cups 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling
  • 24 oz 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cups 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large 3 large eggs
  • 0.25 cups 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 0.25 cups 1/4 cup heavy cream
For the berry topping
  • 1 cups 1 cup blackberries
  • 1 cups 1 cup raspberries
  • 0.25 cups 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy (about 2 minutes). Gradually add the sugar and continue to mix until well combined. Then, add in the vanilla extract.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then mix in the sour cream and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust and smooth the top. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  2. While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the berry topping by combining the blackberries, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the berries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Let it cool.
Chilling and Serving
  1. Once the cheesecake is done baking, let it cool at room temperature for about an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  2. When ready to serve, pour the berry topping over each slice.

Notes

Make it ahead of time for optimal flavor. Feel free to swap in strawberries or blueberries if blackberries or raspberries aren't available. A dollop of whipped cream on top can elevate this dessert.
