Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers can substitute with gluten-free cookies
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
Filling
  • 16 ounces cream cheese softened at room temperature
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar can substitute with coconut sugar
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest or lime zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure preferred
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen, do not thaw
Blueberry Topping
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup sugar adjust to taste

Equipment

  • 8-inch springform pan
  • Medium bowl
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small Saucepan
  • spatula
  • aluminum foil

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. In a medium bowl, combine crushed graham crackers with melted unsalted butter until moistened. Firmly press into the bottom and up the sides of an 8-inch springform pan. For a firmer crust, bake at 350°F for about 10 minutes, then cool completely.
Make the Filling
  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add eggs, granulated sugar, Greek yogurt or sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing gently. Fold in blueberries carefully.
Bake the Cheesecake
  1. Pour filling over the cooled crust, smoothing the top. Wrap the bottom of the springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks. Place it in a larger pan and fill with boiling water until 1 inch deep. Bake for 55-70 minutes, until set.
Cool & Chill
  1. Remove cheesecake from the water bath and let cool at room temperature for about an hour. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare Blueberry Topping
  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar over medium heat. Simmer until blueberries break down, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool before spreading over chilled cheesecake.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature, mix gently to avoid air pockets, and use a water bath for a creamy texture. Clean slices with a hot knife dipped in water.
