Instructions
Step 1: Make the Berry Sauce
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch.
- In another saucepan, repeat the same process using raspberries.
- Cook both mixtures over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
- Let cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Strain the raspberry sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds.
- Refrigerate both sauces for at least 1 hour until fully chilled.
Step 2: Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish.
- Bake for 7 minutes, then cool at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Transfer to the fridge until completely chilled.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
- Beat until the mixture is silky and fully combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Cheesecake Pie
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the chilled crust.
- Spoon alternating dollops of blueberry and raspberry sauce over the filling.
- Swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Add the remaining filling and repeat the swirling process.
