Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crust)
- 2 cups Philadelphia cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed and drained)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar in a bowl; press firmly into the bottom of a springform pan.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries with 2 tbsp sugar and lemon juice until berries burst (5-7 minutes). Let cool slightly.
- Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Mix in ¾ cup sugar and sour cream until combined. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time until just blended.
- Gently fold half of the blueberry mixture into the cheesecake batter. Pour over the crust in the springform pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off the oven, leaving the door ajar for an hour to prevent cracking.
- Cool on wire rack before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
