Cream Cheese Filling
1. Using a Breville food processor or stand
mixer, beat the cream cheese, and then
add sugar. Scrape sides of bowl and
blades or beaters and add egg yolks
one at a time. Scrape again to ensure
a smooth texture is achieved without
overbeating. Add vanilla and sour cream.
Mix to combine.
2. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until
stiff peaks form. Gently fold in one third
egg whites into cream cheese to lighten
mixture. Add rest of egg whites, folding
gently taking care not to deflate the
bubbles. Turn the mixture into cooled
spring form pan.
3. Set the wire rack at the bottom rack
height position. Turn the FUNCTION
dial to BAKE. Set the TEMPERATURE

minutes. Press the START/CANCEL
button to activate. Bake until the
cheesecake is set but still wobbly in
the centre.
4. Remove cheesecake from oven and allow
to completely cool on a wire rack before
refrigerating for a least 6 hours.
5. Slice the cheesecake using a knife
dipped in hot water, and top with 3
Tablespoons, or more of berry topping.
Berry Topping
Combine 1 cup of each: strawberries,
blueberries and raspberries, ¼ cup
granulated sugar and 1 Tablespoon lemon
juice in a medium bowl. Toss to coat and let
sit 10 minutes.
TIP
If graham wafer crumbs are not

wheat biscuits.
