Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup sour cream
For the Fresh Blueberry Topping:
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
How to Make Fresh Blueberry Cheesecake
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and sugar.
- Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is well combined and has the consistency of wet sand.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to create an even, compact crust. You can use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down.
- Refrigerate the crust for about 30 minutes to help it firm up while you make the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Make sure there are no lumps.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue mixing until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form (you can do this with a hand mixer or whisk). Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the sour cream and mix until fully combined.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set.
Step 3: Prepare the Fresh Blueberry Topping
- In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in the cornstarch dissolved in a tablespoon of water. Stir until the mixture thickens, then remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
- Once cooled, pour the blueberry topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake. You can spread it out with a spoon or just leave it in a natural pattern for a more rustic look.
