Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Crumble Topping

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for crumble)
  • 6 tablespoons cold butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan to form a firm crust that will hold the cheesecake layers.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then fold in sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined to create a silky, luscious filling.
  3. Add the Blueberries: Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing to maintain their juicy bursts inside the cheesecake.
  4. Assemble the Crumble Topping: Combine flour, sugar, and cold cubed butter in a bowl. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture forms crumbly clumps that will bake into a crispy topping.
  5. Bake and Cool: Pour the blueberry cream cheese filling onto the crust and sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over it. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly, about 50-60 minutes. Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set fully.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a lump-free batter.
  • Use fresh, firm blueberries to avoid excess moisture in the cheesecake.
  • Mix ingredients only until combined to prevent cracking.
  • Baking in a water bath is optional but helps prevent cracks and maintains moisture.
  • Chill the cheesecake overnight for best texture and flavor development.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days.
  • Freeze tightly wrapped cheesecake for up to two months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • Avoid reheating in the microwave to preserve texture; let it come to room temperature if needed.
