Ingredients:

  • 40 vanilla wafers, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup cottage cheese, creamed
  • 1/4 cup cherry brandy
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 1/2 cups fresh blackberries
  • 1 tablespoon cherry brandy
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

What’s Next:

Get out your springform & come along with me.

In a medium bowl- stir together vanilla wafer crumbs and butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and 1 3/4 inch up the sides of an 8 inch springform pan. Set aside.

In a large bowl- stir together cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Set aside.

Place cottage cheese in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Stir into cream cheese mixture. Stir in the 1/4 cup cherry brandy. Beat in eggs on low speed just till combined.

Go ahead & preheat your oven to 375 F, or 195 C. 

Pour half of the cheese mixture into the crust-lined pan. Spread 1 cup of the fruit on top. Top with remaining cheese mixture and 1/2 cup of the fruit. Place in a shallow baking pan in the preheated oven.

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or till center appears nearly set when shaken. Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Loosen sides. Cool completely on wire rack. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or until ready to serve.

For topping, in a medium bowl combine remaining 2 cups fruit, 1 tablespoon cherry brandy, and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cover and chill for up to 2 hours. To serve, cut cheesecake into wedges. Top each serving with fruit topping.
