Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the Blueberry Topping

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • Make the Crust:
  • Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl.
  • Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the springform pan.
  • Bake for 8–10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Prepare the Filling:

  • Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and flour until just combined.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread it evenly.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Bake the Cheesecake:

  • Bake for 50–60 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
  • Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar, and let it cool for 1 hour.

Prepare the Blueberry Topping:

  • In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy.
  • Let the topping cool to room temperature.

Add the Topping and Chill:

  • Spread the blueberry topping evenly over the cooled cheesecake.
  • Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve with extra blueberries or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure all ingredients, especially the cream cheese and eggs, are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • To avoid cracks, do not overmix the batter and cool the cheesecake gradually in the oven.
  • For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
