Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Finely crushed for better binding.
  • 0.25 cup Granulated Sugar Can be reduced for less sweetness.
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted Butter Melted; coconut oil works as a dairy-free substitute.
For the Filling
  • 32 oz Cream Cheese Full-fat, avoid whipped varieties.
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt is a great alternative.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract Optional, but highly recommended.
  • 3 large Eggs Incorporate one at a time to avoid overmixing.
For the Blueberry Swirl
  • 1 cup Fresh/Frozen Blueberries If using frozen, simmer longer.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Citric acid can be a suitable substitute.
  • 1 tsp Cornstarch Mixed with 2 tbsp water for thickening.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well-moistened. Press into a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden. Allow to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gradually blend in sour cream and vanilla extract. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently until just blended.
  3. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5-7 minutes until blueberries soften. Add cornstarch mixed with water and whisk until thickened. Cool before assembly.
  4. Pour cheesecake filling into cooled crust. Dollop blueberry swirl on top and swirl into filling lightly.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set but center wobbles. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove from pan and slice, optionally garnishing with whipped cream or sprinkles.
