Ingredients

Scale

2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream

2 cups fresh or frozen blackberries

1/4 cup sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Extra blackberries (for topping)

Optional blackberry syrup drizzle

Instructions

Mix crushed cookies with melted butter and press into a greased 9×9-inch pan. Chill 15 minutes.

Cook blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan until softened. Stir in cornstarch slurry and simmer until thickened. Cool completely.
