Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/4 cup blueberry preserves (for topping)

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and mix until fully combined and smooth.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
6. Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
9. Before serving, whip the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the cheesecake and drizzle with blueberry preserves on top.
10. Slice and serve chilled, garnished with extra blueberries if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
• Don’t overmix the batter once you add the eggs to avoid incorporating too much air.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to prevent cracks.
• Refrigerate overnight for the best texture and flavor.

Easy Variations

• Substitute raspberries or strawberries for blueberries for a different fruity twist.
• Add a layer of lemon curd between the cheesecake and whipped cream for extra lemon flavor.
• Top with a mix of fresh berries for a colorful presentation.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a warm-weather treat.
• Fresh mint leaves for a refreshing garnish.
• A cup of coffee or tea to complement the sweetness.
