Fresh Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuits, crushed)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream or heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
For the blueberry topping:
- 1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until evenly combined.
- Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, then let it cool.
- Make the filling:
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently.
- Stir in vanilla and sour cream/heavy cream if using.
- Bake the cheesecake:
- Pour filling over the cooled crust.
- Optional: Place pan in a water bath (wrap bottom in foil and place in a larger pan with hot water) to prevent cracking.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the edges are set but the center slightly jiggles.
- Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside with door slightly open for 15 minutes to cool gradually.
- Chill:
- Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Prepare the blueberry topping:
- Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Cool, then spread or spoon over the chilled cheesecake.
- Serve:
- Slice with a hot, wet knife for clean cuts.
- Enjoy creamy cheesecake with sweet, fresh blueberries on top!
If you want, I can also give a no-bake version that’s even faster and just as creamy, perfect if you don’t want to turn on the oven.
Do you want me to give that version too?
