Ingredients

Blackberry Sauce:

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup sugar

16 oz fresh blackberries

Crust:

12 Oreo cookies

4 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Batter:

8 ounces cream cheese

8 ounces mascarpone cheese

1/3 cup sour cream

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon almond extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

1/2 cup blackberry sauce


Instructions

Prepare the Blackberry Sauce:

  1. In a saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened.
  3. (Optional) Strain through a fine-mesh sieve for a smoother sauce. Let it cool completely.

Create the Oreo Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed.
  3. Mix with melted butter until evenly combined.
  4. Press into the bottom of muffin tins and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare the Cheesecake Batter:

  1. In a food processor, blend cream cheese, mascarpone, sour cream, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, pulsing briefly after each.
  3. Mix in 1/2 cup of cooled blackberry sauce until fully incorporated.

Assemble and Bake:

  1. Pour batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins over the Oreo crust.
  2. Bake for 17-20 minutes until edges are set but centers jiggle slightly.
  3. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Drizzle additional blackberry sauce on top.
  • Garnish with fresh blackberries or mint leaves.

Notes

Swap the berries: Use raspberries or blueberries instead of blackberries.

Change the crust: Try graham crackers or chocolate wafers instead of Oreos.

Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free cookies for the crust.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
