Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Can substitute with crushed Oreos for a darker flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar Feel free to use brown sugar for a richer taste.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (melted) Coconut oil is a great dairy-free alternative.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 16 oz Cream Cheese (softened) Mascarpone can be used for a silkier filling.
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream Greek yogurt offers a good substitute.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Using flavored extract can add a unique twist.
  • 3 large Eggs Ensure they are room temperature for best mixing.
For the Blueberry Swirl
  • 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Blueberries Thaw and drain frozen blueberries to avoid excess liquid.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice Lime juice works beautifully as a zesty alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch Arrowroot can be a good alternative thickener.
Optional Decorations
  • 1 tablespoon Edible Silver Dust or Sprinkles No substitutes here, as these are purely for decoration.

Equipment

  • springform pan
  • mixing bowl
  • Saucepan

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a springform pan and bake for 8–10 minutes until slightly golden.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until creamy. Incorporate sour cream, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time.
  4. In a saucepan, cook the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until the berries begin to break down. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
  5. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spoon dollops of blueberry mixture on top and gently swirl with a toothpick.
  6. Bake the cheesecake for 50–60 minutes. The edges should be set while the center remains slightly jiggly. Leave it in the oven with the door ajar to cool.
  7. Once cooled to room temperature, transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  8. Before serving, drizzle any extra blueberry sauce over the cheesecake and sprinkle with edible silver dust.
