Blueberry Dream Cheesecake

A creamy and dreamy blueberry cheesecake featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich cream cheese filling swirled with homemade blueberry sauce, and topped with fresh blueberries and mint for a refreshing finish.

  • Total Time: 5 hours 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar (for blueberry layer)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup sugar (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Fresh blueberries and mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press firmly into the bottom of the pan to form crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
  3. In a saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thickened, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in sour cream until just blended.
  6. Pour half the cheesecake filling over the crust in the pan, then spoon half the blueberry sauce over the filling. Repeat with remaining filling and sauce; gently swirl with a knife.
  7. Bake for 60–70 minutes or until the center is set.
  8. Cool on a wire rack for 1 hour, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
  9. Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves.

Notes

For best results, use fresh blueberries for the sauce. Allow the cheesecake to chill overnight to fully set. Swirling the blueberry sauce into the filling creates a beautiful marbled effect.
