There was a birthday in our office and I hadn't made anything for a long time so I figured it was my turn to bake. I planned on making a cheesecake. After work I went to the grocery store, I picked up cream cheese, sour cream, eggs, berries for the top and was feeling just a little overwhelmed. I walked by the bakery and saw these lovely little cheesecakes, just the right size for our office. I bought one and then put back the eggs and cream cheese.
I took that cheesecake home and doctored it up just a little. A sweetened sour cream topping with berries and some homemade blueberry sauce was just the thing. That cheesecake was delicious, perfect for a birthday, and so much easier on a week night. Everyone said how good it was, and I just kept my mouth shut.
So, there is nothing wrong with getting a little help from a friend, mine just happened to be my friend Fred, as in Fred Meyer (grocery store), and a few home touches this was the perfect cake to help us celebrate.
Fancied up cheesecake:
1 store bought cheesecake
1 cup sour cream
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
2 cups blueberries, divided
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 cup raspberries, or berries of choice
Place cheesecake on fancy plate, make sure you unwrap it completely (mine had shrink wrap on it).
In a small bowl, mix sour cream with granulated sugar, spread on top of cheesecake.
In a small saucepan mix 1 cup blueberries, 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1 Tbsp. water. Cook over medium heat until berries soften and make a sauce, about 10 minutes.
Cool sauce slightly and then pour over sour cream topping and spread evenly.
Top with fresh berries.
