Lemon 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
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
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 granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 4 packages of softened cream cheese and 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 4 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1/3 cup sour cream, 1/3 cup heavy cream, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until fully combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries. Pour the mixture over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries on top of the cheesecake batter.
- Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This will prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the roasting pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. Enjoy!
