Cheesecake Base

Prepare the crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, melted butter, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.

Form the crust
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool.

Bake the cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.

Chill
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Berry Coulis

Make the coulis
In a small saucepan, combine mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Blend
Remove from heat and blend the coulis until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove seeds if desired. Let it cool.

Serve
Once the cheesecake is chilled, remove it from the springform pan. Top with fresh berries and drizzle with berry coulis before slicing and serving.
