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 tablespoon lemon zest
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh blueberries
• Additional blueberries and lemon slices for garnish

How to Make Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar, mixing until well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, mixing until just combined.
5. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
6. Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour to cool gradually.
8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
9. Before serving, garnish with additional blueberries and lemon slices as desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling.
• Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.
• Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven to reduce the chance of cracking.
• Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best flavor and texture.

Easy Variations

• Swap out blueberries for raspberries or strawberries for a different berry flavor.
• Add a layer of blueberry compote on top for extra sweetness.
• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.

What to Serve With It

• A dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping
• A scoop of vanilla ice cream
• Fresh fruit salad for a refreshing side
• A drizzle of chocolate or berry sauce
