To make this delicious blueberry cheesecake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsp cornstarch for thickening
Instructions
Follow these step-by-step instructions to create a delectable blueberry cheesecake:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). - Prepare the Crust:
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. - Make the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to ensure a smooth consistency. - Incorporate Sour Cream and Cornstarch:
Gently fold the sour cream and cornstarch into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Carefully add the fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. - Pour the Mixture Over the Crust:
Pour the cream cheese and blueberry mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula. - Bake the Cheesecake:
Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set. A slight jiggle in the center is normal and will firm up as it cools. - Cool and Chill:
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
