  • Total Time: 5 hrs 25 mins
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry jam

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract, beating until creamy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in sour cream, flour, and heavy cream until just combined.
  4. Divide batter into two bowls. Stir red food coloring into one bowl until evenly colored.
  5. Pour half of the plain batter over the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the red velvet batter over the plain batter, then swirl gently with a knife to create a marbled effect.
  6. In a small bowl, mix blueberries with blueberry jam. Drop blueberry mixture over the batter and gently swirl again.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off oven and leave cheesecake inside with door slightly open for 1 hour.
  9. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and allow all ingredients to come to room temperature before mixing. Swirling the batters gently will create a beautiful marbled effect without overmixing.
