Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, half a cup of sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add in the cup of sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the blueberries without crushing them.
- In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and baking powder with the remaining graham cracker crumb mixture. Sprinkle evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Baking
- Place the cake in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the cake to cool completely before cutting it into squares. It's best served chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
For best texture, use room temperature cream cheese. Use fresh blueberries; if using frozen, thaw and drain them well. Adjust sweetness based on preference. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days, or freeze individual squares for 2-3 months.
