Ok, so you know that I love fresh blackberries. I can’t help myself right now when I can get blackberries for $1 at the store. I saw this recipe for Blackberry Cheesecake Pots over at Barbara Bakes and just had to try it. I mean, I love blackberries paired with ice cream so why not blackberries paired with cream cheese. This is also one of those great desserts that looks so beautiful but is extremely simple to make.
You can make it for company and make them feel special with their own little glass of blackberry goodness. I did make a few minor adaptations to the original recipe. All I can say is yummy! I do think this even tastes better the second day! I did serve them in different glasses too so you can see that any style of glass is beautiful! I had glasses with stems and glasses without stems. You could also use raspberries instead of blackberries in this recipe.
