1️⃣ Prepare the crust by mixing crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate.
2️⃣ For the filling, beat softened cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Gradually add eggs, one at a time, and mix in vanilla extract. Pour the mixture over the crust and bake using a water bath until set. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
3️⃣ To make the topping, simmer cherries, blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Thicken the sauce with a cornstarch slurry, and let it cool.
4️⃣ Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread the cherry and blackberry topping generously over the surface.
5️⃣ Garnish with extra berries and mint leaves before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
