Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with ½ cup of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream, fresh blueberries, and lemon juice until just combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, garnish with additional fresh blueberries.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
- For added flavor, swirl in some blueberry jam before baking or top with a blueberry compote after chilling.
