1 egg
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 graham cracker crust (9"), baked

FRUIT TOPPING:

6 c. blackberries, divided
1 c. sugar
3 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 c. water

In a mixing bowl, combine egg, sugar, vanilla and cream cheese. Beat until smooth. Spoon into prepared crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool.

Meanwhile, mash enough berries to measure 1 cup pulp. Combine sugar and cornstarch. Gently stir in water and crushed berries. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Boil and stir 1 minute longer. Add remaining whole berries. Cool. Top the cheesecake with berry topping. Chill until ready to serve.
