Description

A delightful dessert that combines rich, creamy cheesecake with sweet, tangy blueberries, perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 24 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: Melt the butter and mix it with graham cracker crumbs and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom and halfway up the sides of a 10-inch springform pan.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar and beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch, and sour cream.
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  4. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cheesecake for 60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
  5. Make the Blueberry Topping: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, lemon juice, and sugar. Heat until it boils. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and cold water, then gradually stir it into the blueberry mixture. Cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  6. Cool and Assemble: Let the cheesecake and blueberry topping cool completely. Once cooled, pour the blueberry topping over the cheesecake and spread evenly.
  7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cheesecake overnight for the best texture. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor.
