How to Make White Chocolate Blueberry Cheesecake

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1⁄2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1⁄4 cup cornstarch
8 ounces white chocolate, melted and cooled
2 cups fresh blueberries
1⁄4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl until well mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate it for later.
In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream and cornstarch, then gently add this to the cream cheese mixture. Finally, fold in the melted white chocolate.
Pour the cheesecake batter over the crust placed in a water bath. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50-60 minutes. After baking, let it cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 8 hours so it firms up nicely.
To make the topping, simmer the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a pan until it thickens. Allow it to cool.
Pour the blueberry topping over the chilled cheesecake and refrigerate it for at least another hour before serving.
