Ingredients
Scale
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs (200 grams)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (66 grams)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (113 grams)
Berry Swirls
- 1 cup chopped strawberries, fresh or frozen (130 grams)
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen (143 grams)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, divided (24.7 grams)
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 ounces cream cheese, room temperature (678 grams)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (148.5 grams)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (7.5 grams)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (9.3 grams)
- 3 eggs, room temperature
Instructions
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the graham cracker mixture evenly into the prepared cheesecake pan to form the crust.
- Prepare the chopped strawberries and blueberries separately, using the divided granulated sugar between the two berry mixtures.
- Beat the room-temperature cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Add the room-temperature eggs and mix until the cheesecake filling is smooth and cohesive.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust.
- Add the strawberry and blueberry mixtures over the cheesecake filling.
- Gently swirl the berries through the filling to create a marbled effect without completely blending the fruit into the cheesecake.
- Bake and finish the cheesecake according to the recipe’s preparation until the filling is set and the cheesecake has the appropriate finished texture.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool and chill thoroughly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use room-temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smoother cheesecake filling.
- Fresh or frozen strawberries and blueberries can be used for the berry swirls.
- Swirl the berries gently into the filling to preserve the distinct strawberry and blueberry colors.
- Keep the finished cheesecake refrigerated and well covered.
