Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare Crust

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.

Step 2: Make Cheesecake Filling

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
Add eggs one at a time, beating gently.
Mix in vanilla and sour cream/heavy cream.
Pour filling over crust and smooth the top.

Step 3: Bake Cheesecake

Bake 50–60 minutes, until edges are set but center slightly jiggles.
Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.

Step 4: Make Berry “Blood”

In a saucepan, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice.
Cook over medium heat until berries release juices and soften.
Optional: add cornstarch slurry to thicken. Cool slightly.

Step 5: Decorate

Spoon berry mixture over chilled cheesecake, letting it drip down the sides.
Optionally, add plastic spiders, candy bones, or edible decorations for extra spooky effect.

Notes

Make Ahead: Cheesecake can be prepared a day ahead; add berry topping just before serving.
Extra Gory Effect: Use raspberry puree or a mix of red and black berries for a darker, more dramatic “blood.”
Mini Version: Make in cupcake liners for individual servings with berry drips.
