Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

  • 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, thaw and drain)

Crumble Topping

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers until fine crumbs form. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and sugar, then press evenly into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese with a mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add sugar, then eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated. Fold in sour cream and vanilla extract for a velvety texture.
  3. Assemble the Blueberries: Gently fold fresh or thawed blueberries into the cheesecake batter, distributing them evenly without breaking the berries.
  4. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until edges are set and center slightly jiggles, about 50-60 minutes. Cool gradually to prevent cracks.
  5. Prepare the Crumble Topping: While baking, combine flour, brown sugar, and melted butter to form crumbs. Once cheesecake is mostly cooled, sprinkle topping evenly and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 10-12 minutes until golden and crunchy.
  6. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld and firm up. Serve garnished as desired.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese and eggs for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Mix batter just until combined to avoid cracks.
  • Bake cheesecake in a water bath for even heat and to prevent cracking.
  • Use fresh blueberries if possible for better texture.
  • Chill cheesecake thoroughly for best slicing and flavor development.
