Fremgangsmåte

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.

Cook berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until juicy & simmering. Mash some of the larger berries as they soften.

In a bowl combine cornstarch & water to create a slurry.

Slowly stir the slurry into the berry mixture.

Cook until thickened/more jammy.

Transfer to a bowl & cool completely.

For the crust/crumble, mix flour, both sugars, cinnamon, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.

Whisk melted butter (cooled) and egg yolk together, add to the dry ingredients, and toss with a fork until crumbly.

Press around half of this mixture into the prepared pan.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until just set and lightly golden.

Let it cool.

Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Mix in sour cream and vanilla.

Add egg and mix on low speed or by hand until just combined.

Spread this evenly over the cooled crust.

Spoon the cooled berry filling on top.

Sprinkle the remaining crumble topping all over.

Reduce the oven temp to 325°F and bake for 40-50 min. The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquidy.

Let it cool at room temp for at least 30 minutes, then chill for at least 4 hours.

Enjoy!
