Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

vegetable oil cooking spray
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
16 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
16 ounces sour cream
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups blueberries
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • MAKE THE CRUST: Preheat the oven to 325°F Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking sprauy. Wrap exterior of pan (including base) with foil.
  • Stir together butter, graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Press mixture firmly into bottom and 3-inches up sides of pan. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • MAKE THE FILLING: Beat cream cheese with a mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Reduce sped to low, and add sour cream, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat until well combined (do not overmix). Pour into chilled crust.
  • Set springform pan in a large, shallow roasting pan. Place in oven. Carefully ladle enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up side of springform pan. Bake until cheesecake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Transfer roasting pan to a wire rack. Let cake cool in roast pan 30 minutes. Remove cheesecake from roasting pan, and refrigerate, uncovered, at least 8 hours (or overnight).
  • BLUEBERRY TOPPING: Combine all ingedients in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook until berries break down, about 4 minutes. Let cool, then refrigerate, covered until cold (or up to 3 days).
  • ASSEMBLY: Run a knife around edge of cake, and unmold. Spoon topping over cake.

The cheesecake was a bit too crumbly for my liking. I would use a different graham cracker crust recipe next time.

The blueberry topping was a bit too tart for my taste. I would use a sweeter variety of blueberries next time.

The cheesecake was a bit too dense for my liking. I would add more sour cream or whipped cream to the recipe next time.

This cheesecake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe next time.
