Ingredients
You will need:
- 180g digestive biscuits
- 75g butter
- 600g cream cheese
- 220g caster sugar
- 150g sour cream
- 3 eggs
- 3 tbsp. plain flour
- Large handful blackberries
Method
Line the base of a 20cm spring form cake tin. Spring form is your friend for this.
Preheat an oven to 130C.
Crush the digestive biscuits in a bowl; I like to use the end of my rolling pin as it’s immensely satisfying. Melt the butter and mix this into the biscuits.
When the biscuits and butter are well combined press the mixture into the bottom of the cake tin and then chill in the fridge.
Whisk together the cream cheese and sugar then mix in the sour cream.
Add the eggs one at a time then add the flour.
Mix the blackberries into the cheese mixture then pour this onto the biscuit base. Smooth over the top of the cake.
Place into the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the oven off and then leave the cake in the oven until the oven is cool.
Chill the cake overnight before removing it from the tin. It should pop right out but you can always run a knife around the edge to make sure.
I am really rather pleased with how this baked blackberry cheesecake turned out. I donated a slice or two to some grateful family members who all agreed there was no point in ever buying a ready made cheesecake ever again. The texture is worlds away from any that I’ve had before and the mixture of creamy, tangy cake and juicy, sweet blackberries is wonderful. There was a fair amount of cheesecake for only two people so we enjoyed it over several days; if anything it got tastier. If you do decide to plunder the hedges for this and the devil has been weeing everywhere I think it’s worth the risk.
It so lovely. I am really considering making it because looks really easy to make. Will try to get the berries, if not maybe with a local suitable fruit.
What a wonderful cheesecake. So yummy with the addition of berries. A fresh and delicious cake to have with your tea!
Your cheesecake is beautiful and looks perfect. I haven’t used digestive biscuits since I made Prince Williams favorite dessert. I had to go to a specialty store to find them but thought they tasted so great.
My family would love this. Thanks for sharing.
haha, i’ve never heard of the devil peeing on blackberries! What a terrible image though. I guess I”ll stick to apples in October 😉 This cheesecake looks great tho!
I’d never heard that saying about blackberry picking in October! That’s great. The berries look delightful in this cheesecake!
always ‘2 for me, one for the pot’ when it comes to wild fruit picking… love your cheesecake but then I adore a baked cheesecake, it’s my favourite. x
oh I like this! Still have plenty of brambles in the freezer.
I have never heard that expression before about the devil peeing on blackberries! Yikes, haha. Your cheesecake looks so delicious.
I am so jelous of those who can actually go blackberry picking.. I can only buy frozen ones 🙁
The cake looks just fabulous!
What terrific looking cheesecake! I love blackberries, and they go so well with cheesecake. Great job – thanks so much.
That looks reeeally decadent. I love this idea. I have so many cheesecake loving friends. It will be perfect for the next bbq.
Look gorgeous. Good idea to donate some slices as I guess it’s dangerous to have around the house!
Really spooky, I had thoughts of baked cheesecake in my head this morning, then read this! It looks wonderful with blackberries in. I’m always reluctant to pick blackberries in October too, always remember that saying, but lots of them still seem to taste good at the moment, maybe they’re late around here this year? Very tempted to live on the edge and pick some more for this.
This looks like the perfect cheesecake. I made some ricotta pancakes recently with blackberries in the batter, which were basically a pancake version of your cheesecake! Love the colours.
I love this idea and think I might have some blackberries in the freezer so will be baking this and enjoying rather a lot!
It’s my birthday next week Caroline, my treat to myself is usually chocolate cake. I never ever eat the stuff otherwise. This might be giving the chocolate cake a run for its money though.
Looks like one slice will never be enough.
this looks fantastic, caroline! i love the blotches of pretty pink in an otherwise smooth and perfectly creamy cake. 🙂
Te ha quedado muy hermosa su tarta me encanta la idea,abrazos.
Luscious delish sweet bites…
the blackberry made me not feelin guily to eat that….
mmmmmm looks so good, love anything with berries!
Such a gorgeous cheesecake! It’s so dreamy and I love that you used blackberries. Saving this recipe for sure! Pinned!
Pretty cheesecake – bought cheesecakes can be very cloying. Wild blackberries are in a league of their own and I could eat a slice of your cheesecake now!
