Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased baking pan.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
  5. Pour the creamy filling over the crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine any remaining graham cracker crumbs with a bit more melted butter and flour to create a crumbly topping. Sprinkle this evenly over the cheesecake filling.
Baking
  1. Place the assembled cake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set and the middle slightly jiggles.
  2. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with foil.
Cooling and Serving
  1. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
  2. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh fruit, if desired.
