Blueberry Topping

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Cheesecake Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  3. 3

    Combine and Bake

    Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Blueberry Topping

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture starts to bubble and thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Cheesecake

    Once the cheesecake has cooled completely, spread the blueberry topping evenly over the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
