Description
A delicious Blueberry Dream Cheesecake with a marbled swirl of fresh blueberries, perfect for dessert lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Gently fold the blueberry mixture into the cheesecake batter, creating a marbled effect.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
- Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy texture and fruity flavor!
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream cheese with Greek yogurt.
- For added flavor, consider swirling in a homemade blueberry sauce made from simmering blueberries with a little sugar and lemon juice.
