Step 1

Crush the graham crackers in either in a blender, or a food processor. Alternately you can place the crackers in a gallon size bag and use a rolling pin to make fine crumbs.

Step 2

Pour graham cracker crumbs into a medium size bowl then stir in sugar. Add the melted butter and stir until well combined.

Step 3

Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Place the pan into the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

FOR THE FILLING

Step 5

Using an electric mixer set at medium speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Or add the cream cheese to the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until smooth. Beat in the condensed milk a little at a time. Be sure to scrap the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure everything is incorporated. Then add the lemon juice and vanilla and mix well.

Step 6

Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust; smooth the top with an off-spatula. The make the berry pattern(directions below).

Step 7

FOR THE FRESH BERRY COMPOTES

Step 8

In a small saucepan over medium high heat, stir together raspberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon water, juice of 1/2 the lemon, and 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch.

Step 9

In another small saucepan over medium heat, stir together the blueberries, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 1 tablespoonwater, juice of 1/2 of the lemon, and the other 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch.

Step 10

Simmer both pans of berries until the berries have broken down and the sauce has thickened, stirring occasionally with a spoon. This should take about 10 minutes.

Step 11

Cool the berries completely, then pour each sauce separately through a fine mesh sieve into separate bowls. Let the sauces cool completely.

Step 12

Pour each sauce into its own sandwich bag. Snip a little off one of the corners of the sandwich bags. Working with alternating bags, pipe circles about an inche apart over the top of the cheesecake. Start in the center and work outward towards the crust. Then drag a wood skewer from the center of cheesecake outward to the crust so that the berry sauces are pulled into a decorative pattern. Or if you prefer, squiggle the skewer around to make swirls of colors.

Step 13

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
