- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 6 oz white chocolate, melted
- ½ cup sour cream
Blueberry Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Fresh blueberries (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until evenly moistened.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool.
2. Make the Blueberry Swirl:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Let cool completely.
3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Mix in melted white chocolate and sour cream until creamy.
4. Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.
- Dollop half of the blueberry swirl over the filling and swirl gently with a knife.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and blueberry sauce, creating a swirl pattern on top.
- Bake for 55–65 minutes, until the center is slightly set with a slight jiggle.
- Cool in the oven with the door cracked open for 1 hour, then cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Use frozen blueberries if fresh are unavailable—no need to thaw beforehand.
- For the best results, let the cheesecake chill overnight to set completely.
- To avoid cracks, do not overmix the batter, and bake at a consistent temperature.
