Yeliy: Berry Burst Cheesecake Recipe

Berry Burst Cheesecake Recipe

Ingredients:

- 1 cup of crushed graham crackers (like tiny cookie pieces)

- 1/4 cup of melted butter (that's the yellow stuff that makes things yummy)

- 2 cups of cream cheese (it's soft and creamy)

- 1 cup of sugar (the sweet stuff)

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (it smells really nice)

- 2 cups of mixed berries (like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries)

- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch (this helps thicken things up)

- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice (it’s a little sour but makes it tasty)

Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

- First, we need to make the bottom of our cheesecake! In a big bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers and melted butter together. It should look like wet sand.

- Now, take a round cake pan and press the mixture into the bottom. This is our crust!

2. Mix the Cheesecake Filling:

- In another bowl, put the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer or a whisk to mix it all together until it’s super smooth and creamy.

- Now, add the lemon juice and cornstarch, and mix again until everything is well combined.

3. Add the Berries:

- Gently fold in the mixed berries. This means to carefully mix them in so they don’t get squished!

4. Pour and Bake:

- Pour the creamy mixture over the crust in the cake pan.

- Ask an adult to help you put it in the oven at 325°F (about 160°C) for 45 minutes. It should be a little jiggly in the middle when it’s done.

5. Cool Down:

- After baking, let it cool down for a bit, then put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to get nice and cold.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

- When it’s ready, slice it up and enjoy your yummy Berry Burst Cheesecake!
