Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  5. Make the blueberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the berries soften slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and let the topping cool completely.
  6. Serve: Once the cheesecake is fully set, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the cheesecake before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a richer crust flavor, toast the graham cracker crumbs lightly before mixing with butter.
  • If you prefer a lemon blueberry cheesecake, add the zest of one lemon to the cream cheese filling.
  • This is an excellent make-ahead dessert; prepare it one day before you plan to serve it.
