Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs

• ½ cup melted butter

• 2 tbsp sugar

For the Blueberry Layer:

• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 tbsp sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ cup sour cream
  

  Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  • In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined.

  • Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  • Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool while preparing the filling.

  2. Make the Blueberry Layer:

  • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar.

  • Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until blueberries soften and release juices.

  • Use a fork or blender to lightly mash (leave some whole berries for texture).

  • Let cool slightly before using.

  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a large bowl, beat cream  cheese and sugar until smooth.

  • Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each.

  • Stir in  vanilla extract and sour cream until fully combined.

  4. Assemble & Bake:

  • Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the crust.

  • Spoon half of the blueberry mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife.

  • Pour the remaining cheesecake filling, then repeat with the rest of the blueberry swirl.

  • Bake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking.

  • Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) before serving.

  5. Serve & Enjoy!

  • Run a knife around the edges before releasing the springform pan.

  • Slice and serve chilled, optionally with extra fresh blueberries or whipped cream.
