Description

A luscious lemon blueberry cheesecake that perfectly balances tangy citrus with sweet blueberries. Creamy, vibrant, and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling

  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Topping

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Let cool.
  2. Make the filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla. Pour over cooled crust.
  3. Bake the cheesecake: Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 50–60 minutes, until the center is just set but slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hour.
  4. Cool & chill: Remove from oven, cool fully, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  5. Prepare topping: In a saucepan, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Cool before spreading on cheesecake.
  6. Serve: Spoon blueberry topping over chilled cheesecake and garnish with fresh lemon slices or extra blueberries.

Notes

Always use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth filling.

Don’t overmix the batter; it prevents cracks.

A water bath helps ensure even baking and prevents dryness.

Can be made 1–2 days ahead for easier entertaining.
