Blueberry Cheesecake


Description

A rich and creamy cheesecake topped with a luscious blueberry sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup blueberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  4. Add vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in the sour cream until fully combined.
  6. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust in the springform pan.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. In a saucepan, heat blueberries and blueberry jam over medium heat until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
  10. Let the blueberry sauce cool, then pour it over the chilled cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • For a firmer cheesecake, bake a bit longer and ensure it cools completely before refrigerating.
  • Feel free to substitute the blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a different berry cheesecake.
