Ein cremiger deutscher Käsekuchen mit einem fruchtigen Beerenwirbel, der diesem klassischen Dessert eine fruchtige Note verleiht.

# Zutaten:

→ Crust

01 - 200 g Digestive biscuits (or Graham crackers)
02 - 100 g unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

03 - 600 g cream cheese, softened
04 - 150 g granulated sugar
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 200 ml sour cream
07 - 1 tsp vanilla extract
08 - Zest of 1 lemon

→ Berry Swirl

09 - 200 g mixed berries (e.g., raspberries, blueberries, strawberries)
10 - 50 g granulated sugar
11 - 1 tbsp lemon juice

# Anleitung:

01 - Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a springform pan.
02 - In a bowl, combine the crushed biscuits and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until well combined.
04 - In a small saucepan, combine the berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Heat over medium heat until the berries break down slightly and the mixture is syrupy.
05 - Pour the cream cheese filling over the crust in the springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of the berry mixture over the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the berries into the filling.
06 - Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
07 - Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
