Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until evenly coated and press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
  • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and cornstarch slurry. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.

Layering and Baking

  • Pour half of the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled crust. Spoon half of the blueberry sauce over it and swirl gently.
  • Repeat with remaining cream cheese mixture and blueberry sauce.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes. The edges should be set and the center slightly jiggle.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.

Chilling and Serving

  • After cooling, transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
  • Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries and whipped cream.

Notes

For a smoother texture, ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Cool the blueberry sauce before swirling. Avoid overmixing the egg mixture to prevent cracks.
