Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups fresh raspberries
• 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
• 1 cup granola
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon

How to Make Berry Crumble Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven to cool.
3. In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
4. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center still has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
5. While the cheesecake cools, prepare the crumble topping. In a small bowl, combine granola, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.
6. Once the cheesecake has cooled, gently fold in the fresh raspberries and cherries into the cheesecake filling.
7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.
8. Before serving, garnish with additional fresh berries if desired. Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and slice the cheesecake into wedges.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling to prevent cracks.
• For a more robust flavor, add a splash of lemon juice to the filling.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to reduce the chances of cracking.

Easy Variations

• Swap raspberries and cherries for other berries like blueberries or strawberries.
• Add a swirl of fruit puree on top of the cheesecake before baking for added flavor.
• Experiment with flavored extracts like almond or lemon for a twist.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for a rich touch.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast.
• Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness.
