Ingredients
Cookie Crust
250 g digestive or graham crackers
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
75 g butter, melted
Blueberries
300 g fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Crumble
110 g all-purpose flour
80 g dark brown sugar
70 g butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
800 g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
260 g granulated sugar
200 g sour cream (18%), room temperature
1½ tablespoons cornstarch
2½ teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line the bottom of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the crust: Blend crackers and sugar until fine crumbs form. Add melted butter and mix until combined. Press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
Prepare the blueberries: In a bowl, mix blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice until coated. Set aside.
Make the crumble: Mix flour and brown sugar. Pour in melted butter and combine with a fork until crumbly. Set aside.
Make the filling: Beat cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute. Add sugar and mix until smooth.
Mix sour cream and cornstarch until smooth. Add to cream cheese along with vanilla extract. Mix gently.
Add eggs two at a time, mixing on low speed just until combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into cooled crust. Spoon blueberry mixture evenly over the top. Sprinkle crumble over blueberries.
Place the springform pan in a larger pan and create a water bath with hot water.
Bake for 1 hour 20–30 minutes. The center should still slightly jiggle.
Turn off oven and let cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight before slicing.
Notes
Room temperature ingredients prevent lumps.
Do not overmix to avoid cracks.
Cheesecake must chill at least 6 hours for best texture.
Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing.
