Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
For the Blueberry Topping:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove and let cool.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and lemon extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 3: Add the Eggs and Sour Cream
Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
Step 4: Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the cooled crust. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 50 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit inside with the door open for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 6 hours.
Step 5: Prepare the Blueberry Topping
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries release their juices. Mix cornstarch with water and add to the saucepan, stirring until the sauce thickens. Let cool.
Step 6: Assemble and Serve
Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, spread the blueberry topping over the surface. Slice and serve with whipped cream or extra blueberries for garnish.
