Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and ¼ cup sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese and remaining sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries without mashing them.
- Pour the blueberry filling over the prepared crust and bake for 55-60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for an hour to prevent cracking.
- Cool completely before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight. Slice and serve chilled.
