  • 1Large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups (500 mL)Cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL)Granulated sugar
  • 2Large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5 mL)PC®Black Label Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/3 cup (75 mL)Sour cream

How to make

  • Step 1Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 13 x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish with parchment paper, leaving 2-inch (5 cm) overhang on 2 opposite sides.
  • Step 2Place butter and sugar in large bowl; beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. (Alternatively, beat in stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.) Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt in separate bowl; add to butter mixture. Beat on low speed just until large pieces of dough begin to come together, 15 to 20 seconds.
  • Step 3Transfer to prepared baking dish, crumbling and breaking up dough with your fingers. Spread evenly in bottom of dish, pressing with hands or back of fork. Bake until puffed and light golden, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven and brush surface with enough egg to cover; discard any remaining egg. Bake 5 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Step 4Topping: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Place cream cheese and sugar in large bowl; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. (Alternatively, beat in stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.) Add eggs and vanilla; beat on medium speed until combined, scraping down side of bowl as needed. Beat in sour cream. Add flour; beat on low speed until smooth. Set aside.
  • Step 5Drizzle 1/4 cup dessert sauce evenly over crust. Spoon cheesecake mixture over top, spreading evenly. Spoon remaining 1/4 cup dessert sauce lengthwise in 4 evenly spaced strips over surface of cheesecake.
  • Step 6Microwave fruit spread in small bowl until runny, 20 to 30 seconds. Spoon lengthwise in 3 evenly spaced strips between rows of dessert sauce. With 1 long edge of baking dish closest to you (parallel to work surface) and starting 2 inches (5 cm) from 1 short end, run tip of sharp knife crosswise from top edge to bottom edge of surface of cheesecake. Move knife 2 inches (5 cm) toward centre; run tip of knife crosswise from bottom edge to top edge of surface of cheesecake. Repeat at 2-inch (5 cm) intervals toward opposite short end, alternating between starting at top edge and bottom edge to make marbled pattern.
  • Step 7Bake until centre is set but not browned, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours. Lifting with parchment, transfer to cutting board; cut into 24 pieces.
