Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

For the cheesecake filling

  • 3 packages (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

For the topping

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Making the Crust

  • In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly.

Creamy Cheesecake Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in the sugar and mix until well combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

Combine

  • Pour the cheesecake mixture over your cooled crust and smooth it out with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, leave the door ajar, and let it cool for an hour.

Cool and Chill

  • Refrigerate your cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight if you can resist).

Top It Off

  • Combine the fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small bowl and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Spread the blueberry mixture over the top of your chilled cheesecake and serve.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending. Fresh blueberries are preferable, but frozen can be used if thawed completely.
