Ingredients
Method
Prepare the crust
- In a bowl, mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
Blend the filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add sugar, lemon juice, and zest, mixing until fully incorporated and fluffy.
Fold in blueberries
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cheesecake batter, taking care not to crush them.
Bake the cheesecake
- Pour the batter over the chilled crust and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 50-60 minutes or until the edges are set but the center still slightly jiggles.
Cool completely
- Once baked, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for an hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to firm up and develop flavors.
Serve
- Top with whipped cream and extra blueberries before serving for an elegant touch.
