Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- 6 tbsp melted butter
Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
Blueberry Sauce:
- 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp water
- 1 tsp cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Prepare the blueberry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down. Stir in cornstarch and cook until the sauce thickens (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside to cool.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just combined. Add vanilla and sour cream, and mix until smooth.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spoon dollops of blueberry sauce on top, then use a knife or toothpick to swirl the sauce into the cheesecake.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until the center is just set and slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open to let the cheesecake cool slowly for 1 hour.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- To prevent cracks, bake the cheesecake in a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries for the sauce. If using frozen, no need to thaw before cooking.
