Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake

  2. Bake at 325°F (163°C) for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is slightly jiggly but set.

Step 4: Prepare the Blueberry Topping
  1. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water.

  2. Slice and serve with whipped cream or extra fresh blueberries for garnish.
