Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs or digestive biscuits for an alternative crust option
  • cup unsalted butter melted
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 16 oz 2 blocks cream cheese (softened, full-fat for the creamiest result)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries frozen blueberries work too, but fresh is recommended
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until evenly combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of your springform pan to create an even crust.
  • Bake the crust for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together in a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer, until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the sour cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the batter onto the cooled crust and spread it evenly using a spatula.
  • Wrap the bottom of the springform pan in aluminum foil to prevent leaks.
  • Place the pan in a water bath (a larger pan filled with an inch of hot water) to keep the cheesecake moist.
  • Bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
  • Turn off the oven, crack open the door, and allow the cheesecake to cool slowly for 1 hour.
  • Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch mixture, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir constantly until the mixture thickens and turns glossy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Allow the topping to cool before spreading it over the cheesecake.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours (overnight is ideal).
  • Remove from the springform pan and slice before serving.
  • Now you know how to cook a perfect blueberry cheesecake!
