Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ⅔ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ⅔ cup melted butter
- 24 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 1 ¼ cup sugar
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cup fresh blueberries (divided)
- ⅛ cup sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying it with cooking spray and lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, then whisk in eggs one at a time. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the filling over the crust.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine half of the blueberries with sugar, water, and lemon juice until they start to burst (about 5-7 minutes). Mix cornstarch with water to create a smooth paste and stir into the berry mixture until thickened.
- Swirl remaining blueberries into the filling and bake for about 60 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
- Allow to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours.
