Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press this crust evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and vanilla extract while mixing.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Add the sour cream, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, dusting them with 1/4 cup flour to prevent them from sinking in the batter.
Baking
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggles.
Cooling and Serving
- Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature for about an hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edges of the cheesecake and release it from the springform pan. Slice and serve, maybe with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey!
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. If using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain excess moisture before using.
