Description
A luscious Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake that blends a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy vanilla filling, and juicy blueberries. Perfect for special occasions or make-ahead desserts.
Ingredients
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 cups fresh blueberries
16 oz (about 450 g) full‑fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup sour cream
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the sugar, sour cream, eggs, flour, and vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- If using, stir in the cinnamon.
- Gently fold in the blueberries without crushing them.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Bake for 45–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake rest inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
- Let cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Optional: Garnish with additional fresh blueberries or whipped cream before serving.
Notes
Swap blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for seasonal variety.
For a crunchier top, add a crumble made from oats, brown sugar, and butter.
Adding lemon zest gives a citrusy freshness.
Use gluten-free graham crackers and flour for a gluten-free version.
Swirl in blueberry jam before baking for a marbled effect.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual slices for longer storage.
No water bath needed—slow cooling prevents cracks.
