Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (200g) graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup (115g) melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (300g) blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (50g) sugar

Instructions

  1. Crush 2 cups (200g) of graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix the crumbs with 1/2 cup (115g) of melted butter and 2 tablespoons (25g) of sugar. Press the mixture firmly into a parchment-lined 9×9-inch pan. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you make the filling.
  2. In a cold mixing bowl, whip 1 cup (240ml) of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
  3. Beat 16 ounces (450g) of cream cheese with 3/4 cup (150g) of sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream gently, ensuring no streaks remain.
  4. Blend 2 cups (300g) of blackberries with 2 tablespoons (30ml) of lemon juice and 1/4 cup (50g) of sugar. Pass the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds (optional).
  5. Spread half the cream cheese filling over the crust, followed by a layer of the blackberry puree. Top with the remaining filling and swirl some extra blackberry puree on top for decoration.
  6. Refrigerate the bars for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to set. Slice into squares and serve.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to avoid lumps. Chill the bars thoroughly for clean slices. If short on time, freeze for 1-2 hours instead of refrigerating.
