Ingredients
Scale
For the Burger:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 burger buns
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Butter for toasting buns
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Blackberry Sauce: Combine blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, then set aside to cool.
- Cook the Bacon: Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Make the Cheesecake Spread: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Form the Patties: Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, then divide and shape into four patties.
- Cook the Patties: In the same skillet used for the bacon, cook the patties over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until done.
- Toast the Buns: Butter the cut sides of the buns and toast them in the skillet until golden brown.
- Assemble the Burger: Spread cheesecake mixture on the bottom bun, add a beef patty, top with bacon, drizzle with blackberry sauce, and finish with the top bun.
Notes
- You can prepare the cheesecake spread up to 2 days in advance.
- Frozen blackberries can be used if fresh ones aren’t available; just thaw them first.
- For a vegetarian option, substitute the beef patty with a plant-based burger or a grilled portobello mushroom.
