Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for blueberry 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 crust)
- 3 packages cream cheese (24 oz total), room temperature
- 2 cups sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium pan, combine the blueberries and 1/4 cup of sugar. In a small bowl, mix water and corn starch, then add it to the pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until thickened and bubbly, about 5-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Make the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Press this mixture into the bottom and about 1/2 inch up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes until dry. Let it cool, then reduce the oven temperature to 275°F (135°C).
- Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sour cream, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and beat until blended. Pour half into a separate bowl and stir in 1/2 cup of the cooled blueberry sauce. Pour this blueberry filling into the crust, then pour the plain cheesecake filling over it and smooth it out. Drop teaspoons of the remaining blueberry sauce on top and swirl with a knife.
- Bake the Cheesecake: Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 1.5 to 2 hours until outer edges are set but center is still jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 more hour. Let it cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight before slicing.
- Serve: Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Serve slices with whipped cream and remaining blueberry sauce.
Notes
For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and avoid overbaking.
