This cheesecake isn’t shy. It starts strong with crushed cookies, then leans into soft, creamy cheese with a swirl of Earl Grey and bursts of mulberries. If you’ve been collecting cheesecake cookies recipes like trading cards, this one earns a top spot.

The floral black tea brings out that mellow, grown-up sweetness in the cheesecake, while the mulberries punch through with sharp, juicy notes. It’s just the right mix of familiar and unexpected.

I’ve baked a lot, and not everything has made it to the blog, but this dessert? This one made my husband stop mid-bite and say, “Wait. What is this?” That’s when you know you’ve hit something special.

3) Ingredients for Mulberry Earl Grey Cheesecake

Crushed Digestive Biscuits: These form the base. You can use graham crackers, but the digestives bring that toasty richness we all love in a cheesecake crust.

Melted Butter: This binds the crust. Melt it just until liquid—don’t let it brown unless you’re into that nutty edge (not a bad twist, honestly).

Ground Earl Grey Tea Leaves: Adds floral hints and a whisper of bergamot. It’s tea but dessert tea. It makes people ask, “What is that flavor?”

Cream Cheese: The soul of the recipe. Go for full-fat. No one wants diet cheesecake.

Granulated Sugar: Keeps it sweet and structured. It works with the tang in the cream cheese to bring balance.

Sour Cream: Adds that little creamy tang. Optional, but I always use it.

Eggs: These bind everything together and help it bake up firm but still creamy.

Vanilla Extract: Just a splash. It rounds out all the floral notes.

Brewed Earl Grey Tea: One tablespoon gives it that extra punch. Don’t skip it.

Mulberries: Use fresh or frozen. If you’ve never used mulberries before, think blackberry meets cranberry. Toss them in a little flour so they don’t sink.

4) How to Make Mulberry Earl Grey Cheesecake

Step 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line your springform pan with parchment. This makes life easier when slicing.

Step 2. Mix the crushed cookies, melted butter, and ground tea. Press that into the bottom of the pan. Chill it while you make the filling.

Step 3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the sour cream and beat again. Crack in the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each one.

Step 4. Stir in the vanilla and brewed tea. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Step 5. Gently fold in the mulberries. Be gentle so they stay whole. Pour this mixture over your crust.

Step 6. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the center has a slight jiggle. Let it cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours—or better yet, overnight.

5) Tips for Making Mulberry Earl Grey Cheesecake

Let the cream cheese come to room temp. If it’s too cold, you’ll end up with lumps. Nobody wants lumpy batter.

Beat the filling gently. Overbeating can lead to cracks in the top. If that happens, cover it with whipped cream and pretend it never happened. I’ve done it. No shame.

Tossing the mulberries in flour helps them “float” in the batter instead of sinking like tiny berry submarines. Learned that the hard way—twice.

6) Making Mulberry Earl Grey Cheesecake Ahead of Time

You can absolutely make this cheesecake the day before a dinner party. I always do. It actually tastes better the next day.

Wrap it in plastic wrap once it’s cool. The tea and berries mellow overnight, and everything settles into this dreamy, cohesive bite.

If you’re feeling extra, you can serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of berry compote. Or both. No one will complain.

7) Storing Leftover Mulberry Earl Grey Cheesecake

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It stays good for about 4 days, though it’s rarely around that long at my house.

If you want to freeze it, slice first. Wrap each slice in parchment and freeze in a zip bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight or at room temp for a couple hours.

Great for sneaky weekday treats when you forget you baked something good. I love those surprises.
