Ingredients
Scale
- 250g digestive or graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 75g butter, melted
- 300g fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 110g all-purpose flour
- 80g dark brown sugar
- 70g butter, melted
- 800g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
- 260g granulated sugar
- 200g sour cream (18%), room temperature
- 1 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F). Line the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, blend the cookies and sugar until fine. Add melted butter and blend until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the cookie mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool. Keep the oven on.
- In a small bowl, mix the blueberries, 1 tablespoon sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining flour and brown sugar. Pour melted butter over the mixture and use a fork to create a crumbly texture. Set aside.
- Using a mixer, beat cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute. Add sugar and mix for another minute. Scrape down the sides and mix for 30 seconds more.
- In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Add to the cream cheese mixture along with vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add eggs two at a time, mixing on low until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides and give a final mix.
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the crust. Gently distribute the blueberries over the top, followed by the crumble.
- Place the springform pan into a larger cake pan, then into a roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the cake pan.
- Bake for 1 hour 20-30 minutes. The center should still be slightly wobbly. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven, take out of the water bath, and cool to room temperature for another hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
