2 tbsp sugar
For the Crust:

3.5 oz (100g) ground almonds
3.5 oz (100g) butter, melted
For the Filling:
21 oz (600g) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (240ml) sour cream
1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream
1 cup (200g) sugar
4 medium eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
7 oz (200g) white chocolate, melted
For Garnish:
Fresh blackberries
Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Tin: Line and grease a 9-inch springform pan with parchment, letting the paper overlap the sides.
- Make Blackberry Swirl: Simmer blackberries with lime juice and sugar for 10 minutes. Strain through a sieve and let cool.
- Form the Crust: Combine the crushed cookies, ground almonds, and melted butter until well blended. Firmly press the mixture into the base of the pan, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Blend the Filling: Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream, heavy cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and flour until smooth. Gently fold in the melted white chocolate.
- Assemble: Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Drizzle the blackberry sauce in a spiral from center to edge, and swirl with a skewer if desired.
- Bake: Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 60 minutes. If browning too much, cover with foil. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and cool for 2 hours.
- Chill: Refrigerate overnight for best results.
- Serve: Garnish with blackberries and whipped cream.
Notes
Use room temperature dairy for the smoothest filling.
Chill overnight for best flavor and texture.
Cover loosely with foil if top browns too quickly.
For a clean swirl, use a piping bag to control the blackberry sauce.
