Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (for topping)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream. Beat on medium speed until the filling is light and fluffy. Do not overmix.
  4. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Chill the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm. This step is crucial for a perfect texture.
  6. Prepare the blueberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften slightly and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  7. Once the cheesecake is fully set, carefully remove the springform ring. Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the top of the cheesecake before serving.

Notes

  • For the creamiest texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • If you prefer a baked version, this recipe adapts well; bake at 325°F for 50-60 minutes.
  • You can substitute the graham cracker crust with a shortbread cookie crust for a different flavor profile.
