Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ⅔ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup melted butter
  • 24 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 ¼ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cup fresh blueberries (divided)
  • ⅛ cup sugar (for blueberry swirl)
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for blueberry swirl)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by spraying with non-stick spray and lining with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar with melted butter until combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  3. Beat room-temperature cream cheese until smooth; gradually add sugar and mix well. Incorporate eggs one at a time, followed by lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  4. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook until thickened; set aside.
  5. Pour half of the cheesecake filling into the crust; add spoonfuls of blueberry mixture on top before pouring in the remaining filling. Swirl gently using a knife.
  6. Bake for about 60 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center. Cool in the oven with the door ajar for an hour before refrigerating for at least four hours or overnight.
