Ingredients
•
6 cups mixed frozen berries, thawed, divided
•
1 cup white sugar
•
2 tablespoons cornstarch
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
2 cups rolled oats
•
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
•
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
•
1/2 teaspoon salt
•
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
•
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
•
1/2 cup white sugar
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2
Prepare berry filling: Mix 3 cups berries, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently and crushing berries with the back of a spoon, until mixture is about half liquid, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
3
Prepare crust: Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in with two knives or a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Pack 2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Set remaining crust mixture aside.
4
Prepare cream cheese filling: Blend cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Spread cream cheese mixture over the crust, then sprinkle remaining 3 cups uncooked berries over top. Top with the cooked berry-sugar mixture and crumble the remaining crust mixture over top.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the top crust is lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
