- 1 tsp vanilla extract

Equipment
- 4 4 inch Mini Springform Pans or 1 large ramekin
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Use a food processor to grind the graham cracker sheets into crumbs
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and granulated sugar
- The texture should be slightly sandy but that can stick together
- Set Aside
Lemon and Blackberry Cheesecake Filling
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F
- Spray the springform pan with nonstick
- Add the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl
- Beat using an electric hand mixer until fully combined. There should be no clumps in the batter
- Once mixed, set aside
- Add the graham cracker crust mixture to the bottom of the springform pan(s) (about 1/3 cup in each for the smaller pans)
- Press down with your hand and fingers to distribute evenly
- Next, pour some of the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust
- Spread in an even layer
- Add the fresh blackberries evenly over the cheesecake layer
- Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top and spread into an even layer
- Gently bang the pan on the counter/table to get rid of any air bubbles in the batter
- Bake for 50-55 minutes or until there is only a slight jiggle in the center of the cheesecake. The cheesecake should be fully baked. (The time may be much longer if you're using the 10 inch springform pan)
- Remove from the oven and let chill at room temperate for 1 hour
- Put in the fridge to chill for a minimum of 6 hours (overnight preferred)
- Take out of the fridge 10-15 minutes before serving
- Remove the springform pan
- Top with fresh blackberries
- Slice and Enjoy!
