👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) so it’s ready to go when you are.
For the crust, mix the graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup sugar and melted butter until everything is evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, then set it aside.
To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese with 1 cup of sugar and vanilla until the mixture turns incredibly smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, giving each one a good mix before adding the next.
For the blueberry topping, place the blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and turns glossy. Let it cool slightly before using.
Pour the creamy filling over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the warm blueberry topping across the surface, then gently swirl it through the batter with a knife or skewer to create a beautiful marbled pattern.
Bake the cheesecake for 60–70 minutes, just until the center looks mostly set but still has a slight jiggle. Remove it from the oven and let it cool completely. Chill for at least 4 hours—overnight is even better for the perfect texture.
Once it’s fully chilled, release it from the springform pan, slice, and enjoy every creamy, fruity bite.
💡 Tips
Place a pan of hot water on the rack below your cheesecake to reduce the chance of cracks.
This dessert is great for planning ahead—make it the day before and refrigerate until serving.
Add extra fresh blueberries or a little whipped cream on top for an elegant finish.
Enjoy your rich, decadent Fresh Blueberry Cheesecake—a show-stopping dessert guaranteed to impress everyone at the table.
