💙 Blueberry Cheesecake (Classic & Creamy)
Ingredients
Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- 6 tbsp melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 24 oz (3 packages) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Blueberry Topping
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water or lemon juice
- Optional: ½ tsp vanilla
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until sandy.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then cool while preparing filling.
2. Make the Filling
- Beat cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
- Add sugar and beat until creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time — mix on low to avoid overbeating.
- Add sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla; mix just until combined.
- Pour filling over the cooled crust.
3. Bake the Cheesecake
- Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 55–70 minutes.
- The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
- Turn off the oven and let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour (prevents cracks).
- Remove and cool completely, then chill at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
4. Make the Blueberry Topping
- Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water/lemon juice in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat until thick and glossy (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in vanilla if using.
- Cool completely before spreading on cheesecake.
5. Serve
Spread blueberry topping over the chilled cheesecake and slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
⭐ Tips for the Best Cheesecake
- Use room-temperature cream cheese for smooth texture.
- Don’t overmix — it causes cracking.
