Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup (75 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 24 oz (680 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (250 g) fresh blueberries
- 2 tbsps cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a springform pan with a graham cracker crust, pressing firmly to create an even base.
- Using an electric mixer, cream together cream cheese and sugar until velvety smooth, incorporating eggs individually and blending in vanilla extract for a rich, creamy texture.
- Craft the blueberry sauce by simmering fresh blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, and a splash of lemon juice, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens and develops a glossy, deep purple consistency.
- Gently pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust, then artfully dollop the blueberry sauce across the surface, using a knife to create elegant swirling patterns that marble through the creamy filling.
- Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 55-65 minutes, watching for a slight jiggle in the center that indicates perfect doneness without overbaking.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer to the refrigerator and chill for a minimum of 4 hours to set and develop its signature dense, creamy texture.
Notes
- Pulse graham crackers in a food processor for a finer, more even texture that creates a perfect base for your cheesecake.
- Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs to ensure a smooth, lump-free batter that blends seamlessly.
- Use the tip of a knife or a toothpick to create intricate, beautiful marble-like patterns with the blueberry sauce for a stunning visual effect.
- This cheesecake actually tastes better when chilled overnight, allowing flavors to meld and develop a richer taste profile.
