Description

A delightful dessert combining creamy cheesecake with sweet-tart blueberries, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for the sauce)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for the crust)
  • 3 packages cream cheese (24 oz total), room temperature
  • 2 cups sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for the filling)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium pan, combine the blueberries and sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and corn starch, then add it to the pan with the blueberries. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture becomes bubbly and thickened, about 5-8 minutes. Set the sauce aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan and bake for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, remaining sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth. Pour half of this filling into another bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of blueberry sauce. Pour the blueberry filling into the crust, then pour the plain filling on top, swirling in the remaining blueberry sauce.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 90-120 minutes, until the outer 2 inches are set and the center is jiggly. Leave the cheesecake in the oven for 60 more minutes after turning it off.
  5. Serve: Cool, refrigerate overnight, and serve with whipped cream and remaining blueberry sauce.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother filling.
