Scale
- 1½ cups frozen blackberries

- ¼ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine blackberries, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat until the berries soften and release juices, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Place a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl and pour the berry mixture through it. Press to extract as much juice as possible and discard solids.
- Pour the juice back into the saucepan; mix cornstarch and water until smooth, then add it to the juice and stir until slightly thickened. Cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang for easy removal.
- Whisk melted butter, brown sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla, mixing until combined.
- Stir in cocoa powder, flour, and baking soda until no dry ingredients remain. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
- In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, salt, and nutmeg until smooth. Mix in egg white, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- Add whipping cream and mix until combined. Spread over brownie batter.
- Spoon cooled blackberry sauce on cheesecake layer and swirl with a knife.
- Bake for 55 to 60 minutes until set and edges are lightly golden. Cool completely in the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing.
