Ingredients

  • For the Crust:
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • For the Blueberry Layer:
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • For the Cheesecake Filling:
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • For Garnish:
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Mint leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.
  3. Cook Blueberry Sauce: In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
  4. Make Filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing after each. Stir in sour cream until just blended.
  5. Assemble: Pour half the filling over the crust. Add half the blueberry sauce. Repeat with remaining filling and sauce. Swirl gently with a knife.
  6. Bake: Bake for 60–70 minutes until center is set. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Garnish: Top with fresh blueberries and mint leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Swap in raspberries or mixed berries for variation.
  • Add lemon zest to the batter for extra citrus flavor.
  • Use cupcake tins for mini versions.
  • Greek yogurt works as a substitute for sour cream.
