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
- 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.
- 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.
- Assemble the Blueberries: Gently fold fresh or thawed blueberries into the cheesecake batter, distributing them evenly without breaking the berries.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
