Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

Preparing the Crust:

  1. In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass to smooth it out.
  3. Refrigerate the crust for at least 30 minutes to set.

Making the Cheesecake Filling:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
  5. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Preparing the Blueberry Topping:

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir continuously until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let the topping cool completely.

Assembling the Cheesecake:

  1. Once the cheesecake has set, spread the cooled blueberry topping evenly over the top.
  2. Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy!
