Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Slice
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add ¾ cup of granulated sugar and the vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until well combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until just blended. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, reserving the rest for topping.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with the remaining blueberries and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
- Letting the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven helps prevent cracking.
Easy Variations
- Swap blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
- Add a hint of lemon zest to the cheesecake mixture for a citrusy twist.
- Incorporate a layer of fruit preserves on top of the cheesecake before adding the fresh blueberries.
What to Serve With It
- A dollop of whipped cream for added creaminess.
- Fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and flavor.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
