Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then allow to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with the remaining sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
- Pour cheesecake batter over the crust.
- Spoon blueberry mixture over the batter and gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled pattern.
- Bake for 55 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest texture.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding eggs to help prevent cracks.
- Frozen blueberries may be used without thawing.
- For clean slices, wipe the knife between each cut.
