Description

A creamy and luscious blueberry cheesecake featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, smooth cream cheese filling infused with lemon zest and vanilla, topped with fresh blueberries and a dusting of powdered sugar. This classic dessert is baked to perfection and chilled for a refreshing treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 200 gram Graham Crackers
  • 6 1/4 tablespoon Butter

Filling

  • 375 gram Cream Cheese
  • 3/4 cup Whipping Cream
  • 3/4 cup Caster Sugar
  • Zest and juice of 1 Lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 Eggs

Topping

  • 1 1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries
  • 2 tablespoon Powdered Confectioners Sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 170 degrees C (340 degrees F) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cheesecake evenly.
  2. Prepare the crust: Crush 200 grams of graham crackers in a large bowl. Melt 6 1/4 tablespoons of butter and add it to the crushed crackers. Stir the mixture thoroughly until combined.
  3. Form and chill the crust: Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased and lined 22-centimeter springform pan using the bottom of a glass to create an even layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
  4. Make the filling: In a food processor, combine 375 grams of cream cheese, 3/4 cup caster sugar, 3/4 cup whipping cream, the zest and juice of one lemon, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add eggs: Incorporate 3 eggs one at a time into the cream cheese mixture, blending well between each addition to ensure a smooth texture.
  6. Add blueberries: Pour the filling onto the chilled crust and sprinkle 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries on top. Gently fold the blueberries into the filling to distribute them evenly without breaking them.
  7. Bake the cheesecake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for one hour. After baking, leave the oven door slightly open and allow the cheesecake to cool inside gradually to prevent cracking.
  8. Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the cheesecake for 6 to 8 hours or until fully set and chilled.
  9. Decorate and serve: Before serving, decorate the cheesecake with additional fresh blueberries and dust the top with 2 tablespoons of powdered confectioners sugar for a beautiful finish.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier blending.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when slicing.
  • Let the cheesecake cool gradually in the oven to reduce the risk of cracking.
  • Chilling the cheesecake overnight will improve its texture and flavor.
  • Use fresh blueberries for best flavor and visual appeal.
