Ingredients
 
 

Graham Cracker Crust

  • 160 grams graham crackers
  • 75 grams brown sugar light or dark
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 113 grams unsalted butter melted

Cheesecake

  • 680 grams full fat cream cheese room temperature
  • 140 grams granulated sugar
  • 150 grams sour cream room temperature
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 large eggs room temperature

Blueberries

Crumble

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C, spray a springform pan with baking spray, and line with parchment paper. Set aside.

Graham Cracker Crust

  • Pulse the graham crackers to a fine crumb in a food processor or crush by hand. Then stir the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Mix in the melted butter.

  • Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and lower the heat to 325°F/165°C. Place a casserole dish or oven-safe skillet on the bottom rack and fill with hot water. This is the "water bath" that creates steam to prevent cracks.

Cheesecake

  • Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together in a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.

  • Beat in the sour cream, vanilla extract, cornstarch, and salt on low speed.
    150 grams sour cream, 2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time on low, scraping the sides of the bowl after eggs 2 and 3. Fold with a rubber spatula a few times to pop air bubbles.
    3 large eggs
  • Pour the filling over the crust and smooth out the top. Set aside as you prepare the blueberries and crumble topping.

Blueberries and Crumble

  • In a small bowl, mix the blueberries, granulated sugar, and all-purpose flour together. Set aside.
    250 grams blueberries, 2 teaspoon granulated sugar, 2 teaspoon all purpose flour
  • For the crumble, combine the flour, sugar, and brown sugar in a separate medium bowl. Then whisk in the melted butter with a fork until crumbly with no dry patches remaining.
    90 grams all purpose flour, 85 grams granulated sugar, 65 grams brown sugar, 70 grams unsalted butter
  • Gently spoon the blueberries on top of the cheesecake batter. Then evenly sprinkle the crumble on top of the blueberries.
  • Bake the cheesecake for 75-90 minutes or until the cheesecake jiggles a bit in the center with a gentle shake.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and cool on top of it for 1 more hour before covering in plastic wrap and chilling in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Once the cheesecake is completely cool and set, release the springform pan, slice, and enjoy!

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs. The cream cheese needs to be soft so it mixes easily.
Do not skip the water bath! It helps prevent cracks and creates a smooth cheesecake.
Cool the cheesecake slowly and gradually to prevent cracks.
Storage: Store blueberry crumble cheesecake in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Wrap the whole cheesecake or individual slices in plastic wrap and place in an airtight, freezer-safe container or bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight before eating.
