Acai Berry Cheesecake with Fruit Compote Topping

Ingredients:

• 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 8 ounces Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup acai berry puree
• 2 cups mixed berries for topping (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1/4 cup sugar for topping
• 1/4 cup water for topping
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice for topping

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar together with a fork. Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
3. In a mixing bowl, beat the Norman's Kosher Cholov Yisroel Cream Cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in eggs, one at a time.
4. Stir in acai berry puree and mix well.
5. Pour mixture onto the prepared crust and smooth out the top with a spatula. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is almost set. Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator until firm.
6. For the fruit compote topping, combine mixed berries, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the berries are soft and the mixture has thickened. Let cool to room temperature.
7. Spoon the fruit compote topping over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
