Crust Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a springform pan, bake for 8-10 minutes, and cool.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Gradually mix in sour cream and vanilla, then add eggs one at a time.
Blueberry Swirl Preparation
- Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until blueberries burst, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
Assemble Cheesecake
- Pour cheesecake batter into the cooled crust, drop dollops of blueberry mixture on top, and swirl gently with a knife.
Bake Cheesecake
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until edges are set and center is jiggly. Turn off oven, leave cheesecake inside for an hour to cool.
Chill and Serve
- Remove cheesecake from oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, drizzle remaining blueberry swirl on top.

Notes
For best texture, avoid overmixing and allow cheesecake to cool gradually. Use fresh blueberries if possible.
