Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 8 oz white chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

For the Blueberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

For Garnish:

  • White chocolate curls (optional)
  • Fresh blueberries
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
  • Add the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed before adding the next.
  • Stir in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth.
  • Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.
  1. Bake the Cheesecake:
  • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is just set but still slightly jiggly.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the oven door slightly, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for 1 hour to prevent cracking.
  • Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
  1. Prepare the Blueberry Sauce:
  • In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
  • Cook over medium heat until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until thickened.
  • Remove from heat and let cool.
  1. Assemble and Serve:
  • Once the cheesecake is fully chilled, top it with the blueberry sauce.
  • Garnish with additional fresh blueberries, white chocolate curls, and whipped cream if desired.
  • Slice and serve chilled.
