Blueberry Cheesecake: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
• 1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 pint fresh blueberries
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 cup water

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and press down to form a crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1 and 1/4 cups of granulated sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the mixture onto the crust in the springform pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst.
4. Pour the blueberry mixture over the cheesecake and use a spatula to spread the mixture evenly. Place the cheesecake in the fridge to cool for at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Verdict:

This blueberry cheesecake is the perfect combination of creamy and fruity. The smooth and rich cheesecake filling is beautifully complimented by the sweet and tangy blueberry sauce. It’s the perfect dessert for any occasion, and sure to impress all your guests!
