Ingredients
225 g graham cracker crumbs or shortbread cookie crumbs
90 g melted butter
2 tbsp granulated sugar (for crust)
675 g cream cheese, room temperature
200 g granulated sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 tbsp lemon zest
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
120 g sour cream
200 g fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a bowl, mix the crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until combined. Press into the bottom of the pan and bake for 8 minutes. Let it cool.
3. Reduce oven temp to 325°F (163°C).
4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until fluffy. Add flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix gently.
5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
6. Fold in sour cream until smooth, then gently stir in most of the blueberries.
7. Pour mixture over cooled crust and smooth the top. Scatter remaining blueberries on top.
8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is nearly set.
9. Turn off oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
10. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
Notes
Use room temperature cream cheese for a silky smooth texture.
Don’t overmix the batter once eggs are added to avoid cracking.
Let the cheesecake cool gradually to prevent sinking in the middle.
