Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine 2 1/2 cups blackberries, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Stir until sugar melts and berries release juices.
- Whisk together cornstarch and water; add to the saucepan and stir until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in lemon zest, and fold in remaining blackberries. Allow to cool slightly before refrigerating.
Crust
- Toast pecans in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, then combine melted butter, flour, and pecans.
- Press mixture into the baking dish and bake for about 15 minutes. Cool before adding filling.
Filling
- Whip heavy cream, adding confectioners' sugar gradually until thickened.
- In a separate bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped cream.
- Spread filling over the cooled crust, then top with the blackberry mixture.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
Serving
- Cut into squares and serve with a drizzle of crème fraîche or a scoop of ice cream.
Notes
For extra pop of flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
