Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust:
    • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ½ cup melted butter
  • Blueberry Sauce:
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • 1 tbsp lemon juice
    • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • Cheesecake Filling:
    • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 3 large eggs
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • ½ cup sour cream
    • ½ cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into a springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Set aside to cool.
  • Prepare the Cheesecake: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and mix until combined. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each. Stir in vanilla extract, sour cream, and heavy cream.
  • Assemble: Pour half of the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Drop spoonfuls of blueberry sauce onto the batter, then swirl gently with a knife. Add the remaining batter on top and repeat the swirl process with more blueberry sauce.
  • Bake: Wrap the springform pan in foil and place it in a water bath. Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

  • To enhance flavor, make the blueberry sauce a day ahead for a deeper berry taste.
  • Ensure the water bath doesn’t leak by wrapping the pan in foil tightly.
