Ingredients
For the Crust
-
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
-
3 tbsp granulated sugar
-
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling
-
16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
-
1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
For the Blueberry Topping
-
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
-
½ cup granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp cornstarch
-
¼ cup water
-
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions
-
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate the crust while you make the filling.
-
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice, mixing until fully combined. In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
-
Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, spreading it into an even layer. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set.
-
Make the Blueberry Topping: In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, water, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries release their juices, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Serve: Once the cheesecake has set and the blueberry topping has cooled, spoon the topping over the cheesecake. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
-
You can make this cheesecake a day ahead of time to let it set properly.
-
If you prefer a smoother topping, you can strain the blueberries to remove the skins and seeds.
-
You can substitute the blueberry topping with any fruit of your choice, such as strawberries or raspberries.
- If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a regular pie dish or a square baking dish. Just be sure to adjust the size of the crust accordingly.
