# Instructions:
01 -
Toss blackberries, water, and sugar in a small saucepan on medium-high heat. Let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes, breaking the blackberries down as they soften. Push the mixture through a fine sieve to remove seeds, and let the liquid cool completely.
02 -
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Get an 8x8 pan ready by lining it with parchment paper.
03 -
Melt butter and mix it well with sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt. Add in cocoa powder and flour, folding everything together carefully. Pour into the pan, making the surface even.
04 -
Mix yogurt, cream cheese, sugar, salt, and the egg in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Spread this mix gently over the brownie layer.
05 -
Spoon chilled blackberry puree on top of the cheesecake layer. Use a knife or toothpick to swirl the puree around creatively.
06 -
Put the whole thing in the oven and bake for about an hour. The cheesecake should turn golden at the edges, with a knife coming out with a crumb or two. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
