Ingredients

For the Crust:

1 and 1/2 cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar

For the Filling:

16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened (2 standard 8-ounce packages)

1 cup (200g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

For the Topping:

1 cup (200g) fresh blueberries

2 tablespoons blueberry jam

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Filling:

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat until creamy. Mix in the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake for 45–50 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Add the Blueberry Topping:

In a small saucepan, gently heat the blueberry jam until it becomes a bit runny. Toss in the fresh blueberries and stir until coated. Spoon the mixture over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
