Berry Swirl Cheesecake and Its Nutritional Information

Ingredients You Will Need:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

For the Berry Swirl:

  • 1 cup mixed berries (raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries)
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and wrap the outside with aluminum foil to prevent leaks during baking.

2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.

3. Prepare the Berry Swirl: In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove seeds, if desired. Set aside to cool.

4. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. Gradually beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Mix in the flour until smooth.

5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of the berry mixture onto the filling, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the berries into the batter, creating a marbled effect.

6. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with hot water until it reaches halfway up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

7. Chill and Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Slice and serve with additional fresh berries if desired.

Tips for the Perfect Berry Swirl Cheesecake:

  1. Use Fresh or Frozen Berries: Both work well for the swirl, but fresh berries provide a brighter flavor.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
  3. Water Bath: Prevent cracks and ensure even baking by using a water bath.
