Ingredients: For the Crust: 1 cup graham cracker crumbs 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup melted butter For the Cheesecake Filling: 24 oz cream cheese, softened 1 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 4 eggs For the Blueberry Topping: 2 cups fresh blueberries 1/4 cup sugar 2 tsp cornstarch Instructions: Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Prepare the Blueberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Drop spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture over the top of the cream cheese filling. Use a knife or skewer to swirl the blueberry mixture into the filling, creating a marbled effect. Bake: Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is almost set (it should jiggle slightly). Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Serve: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor. Tips: Prevent Cracks: Place a pan of hot water on the rack below the cheesecake to create steam, helping to prevent cracks. Make Ahead: Cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge. Optional Garnish: Top with additional fresh blueberries or whipped cream for extra flair. Enjoy your decadent Fresh Blueberry Cheesecake—a dessert that’s sure to impress family and friends!
