Instructions

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine mixed berries, maple syrup, and cornstarch mixed with water. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened. Lightly mash berries and set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until incorporated.
Pour cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of berry swirl over the surface and gently swirl into a marbled pattern.
Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Let cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before slicing.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, use almond flour instead of graham cracker crumbs.
This dessert tastes best when chilled overnight to enhance the flavors.
Use fresh berries for a vibrant flavor or frozen if fresh is unavailable.
