Ingredients

Scale

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 5 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the graham crackers finely, then mix with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Firmly press this into the bottom of a springform pan or shallow dish to create an even crust layer. Chill in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, whip the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, then vanilla extract and lemon juice, blending until fully incorporated and silky without lumps.
  3. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and fluffy.
  4. Add Blueberries: Carefully fold most of the fresh blueberries into the filling, reserving some for topping. This adds juicy bursts of flavor and appealing color throughout the cheesecake.
  5. Assemble and Chill: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Top with the remaining blueberries, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set and firm up.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Allow adequate chilling time to achieve the best texture and sliceability.
  • Fresh blueberries provide superior flavor and texture compared to frozen.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain the airy texture of the filling.
  • Press the crust firmly to help prevent crumbling and sogginess when slicing.
