Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for overhang.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and kosher salt until smooth and creamy.
Pour the cream cheese mixture onto the crust, smoothing it out evenly. Scatter the fresh blackberries over the top.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, light brown sugar, kosher salt, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture over the blackberries.
Bake for 175 minutes or until the top is golden and the cheesecake is set. Allow to cool before slicing into bars.

Notes

For a firmer texture, refrigerate the bars overnight before serving.
Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor and appearance.
These bars can be served chilled or at room temperature.
