QUICK LEMON CHEESECAKE WITH TWO BERRY SAUCE

8 graham crackers

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 cup each blackberries and blueberries or you can use strawberries, raspberries- whatever

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons Chambord liqueur- optional

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup whipping cream

½ cup sour cream

2 teaspoons lemon juice

½ teaspoon lemon zest

½ cup Confectioner’s sugar

1/4 teaspoon vanilla

For the crust: Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whirr the graham crackers in a food processor until they are crumbs. Put 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 3 butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Swirl the pan so the sugar and butter melt together to make a caramel. Once it is melted and light golden brown, add the crumbled graham crackers and toss to coat. Remove from pan and spread on prepared pan. Set aside to cool.

For the sauce: Use the same pan. Add 1 cup blackberries and 1 cup blueberries. Sprinkle over 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Toss to coat. Cook over medium heat until the berries begin to break down and soften, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from heat. Add Chambord. Stir together. Set aside to cool.

For the cheesecake: In a bowl, whip the whipping cream until stiff. Beat the cream cheese and sour cream with the Confectioner’s sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat until fluffy. Fold the whipping cream into the cream cheese mixture.

Line individual ramekins or a medium soufflé or round casserole with plastic wrap. 

Spoon the cheesecake into the ramekin and press it down to fill. Add a layer of the graham cracker crumbs on top. Wrap the sides of the plastic wrap over the top and chill for at least an hour.

To serve: sprinkle more graham crumbs on the plate. Remove the cheesecake from the ramekin and put it crumb side down onto the plate. Spoon over the berry sauce and garnish with a few more crumbs.
