A velvety, baked blueberry cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust and a sweet-tart blueberry topping. Perfect for holidays or any special occasion.
For the Crust:
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
6 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
32 oz cream cheese (4 blocks), softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
4 large eggs
For the Blueberry Topping:
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water
Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
Combine graham crumbs, sugar, and butter; press into a springform pan. Bake 10 mins.
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, sour cream, and vanilla. Mix in eggs one at a time.
Pour over crust. Bake in a water bath for 55–70 minutes. Cool in oven 1 hour, then chill at least 4 hours.
For topping, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until juicy. Add cornstarch slurry and stir until thick. Cool and spoon over cheesecake.
Substitute digestive biscuits or use gluten-free options for the crust.
Cheesecake freezes well without the topping.
Serve with mint leaves or whipped cream for extra flair.
