Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 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
- 1/4 cup blueberry jam or sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Finally, stir in sour cream until fully combined.
- Bake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for about an hour.
- Chill: Once cooled, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
- Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries and blueberry jam. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens slightly. Allow to cool.
- Serve: Once the cheesecake is set, top with the blueberry mixture before serving. Slice and enjoy your delightful Blueberry Cheesecake!
