Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
- To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
- Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes.

Steps:
- For cheesecake:
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter six 1 1/4 cup custard cups. Toss ground cookies with melted butter in medium bowl to blend. Press 3 tablespoons cookie mixture evenly onto bottom of each prepared cup; reserve remaining cookie mixture.
- Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in large bowl until fluffy, occasionally scraping down sides of bowl, about 1 minute. Add eggs and yolks 1 at a time, blending well after each addition. Divide batter equally among custard cups. Sprinkle reserved cookie mixture evenly atop batter. Place cups in large roasting pan. Add enough hot water to pan to reach halfway up sides of cups. Bake until cheesecakes are set in center, about 45 minutes. Remove cheesecakes from water bath. Cool completely. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- For sauce:
- Melt butter in heavy medium skillet over high heat. Mix in sugar. Add berries and stir until sugar dissolves and berries are heated through, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in liqueur.
- Cut around cheesecakes to loosen. Turn cheesecakes out onto plates. Pour warm berry sauce around cheesecakes.
Tips:
- For a smooth cheesecake batter, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature and beat it until it is light and fluffy.
- Do not overmix the cheesecake batter, as this can cause the cheesecake to be dense and crumbly.
- Bake the cheesecake in a water bath to prevent the top from cracking.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before refrigerating it. This will help to prevent the cheesecake from sinking.
- For a richer cheesecake, use full-fat cream cheese.
- For a lighter cheesecake, use low-fat or non-fat cream cheese.
- Add your favorite flavorings to the cheesecake batter, such as vanilla extract, lemon zest, or chocolate chips.
- Serve the cheesecake with fresh berries, whipped cream, or a drizzle of fruit sauce.
