Blueberry Cheesecake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream. Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Spoon the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer and swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is almost set. Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
