01Ingredients

  • For the crust:
  • - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • - 1/3 cup melted butter
  • - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • For the filling:
  • - 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • - 1 cup granulated sugar
  • - 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • - 3 eggs
  • For the blueberry topping:
  • - 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • - 1/2 cup water
  • - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • - 1 tbsp cornstarch

02Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar for the crust. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden brown.
  • While the cheesecake is baking, prepare the blueberry topping. In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens and the blueberries release their juices. Remove from heat and let it cool.
  • Once the cheesecake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Remove the sides of the pan and let the cheesecake cool completely.
  • Once the cheesecake has cooled, pour the blueberry topping over the top and spread it evenly.
  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set and chill.
  • 10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
