Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cream cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries

Crust Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup melted butter

Flavoring and Thickening Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter into a cohesive mixture.
  2. Transfer the crust mixture into a springform pan, firmly pressing it down to create an even base. Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes to set the foundation.
  3. Create the cheesecake filling by thoroughly blending cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Incorporate eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, whisking until fully integrated and no lumps remain.
  5. Craft the blueberry swirl sauce by simmering fresh blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat until the mixture thickens and develops a rich, glossy consistency.
  6. Gently pour the cream cheese mixture over the pre-baked crust, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Drizzle the vibrant blueberry sauce across the surface, using a knife to create elegant swirling patterns throughout the cheesecake.
  8. Bake the cheesecake at 325°F for 50-60 minutes, watching for a slightly jiggly center that indicates perfect doneness.
  9. Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature to prevent cracking.
  10. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to set and develop optimal flavor and texture before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth, lump-free mixing and perfect texture.
  • Use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, thaw and drain excess liquid to prevent watery sauce.
  • Prevent cracks by baking cheesecake in a water bath and avoiding overmixing the batter, which adds too much air.
  • For gluten-free version, replace graham cracker crust with almond flour or gluten-free cookie crumbs, maintaining same proportions.
