Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened Make sure it's at room temperature.
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs Add one at a time while mixing.
  • 1 cup sour cream
Blueberry Sauce
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • ½ cup sugar For the blueberry sauce.
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream.
  4. For the blueberry sauce, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat until the mixture thickens.
Assembly and Baking
  1. Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the crust, then add half of the blueberry sauce and swirl with a knife.
  2. Pour the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top and add the rest of the blueberry sauce, swirling again.
  3. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Let cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
  2. Serve the cheesecake chilled, sliced into wedges. Optionally, top with extra blueberries or whipped cream.

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is softened for a smooth texture. Don’t rush the baking time; ensure the center is set before removing it from the oven. Allow the cheesecake to chill fully in the fridge for better flavor and texture. For variations, try using other fruits, like strawberries or raspberries.
