Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs, (about 12 sheets)
- 6 Tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
Filling
- 1 ¼ cups (10 oz) block-style cream cheese
- 1 cup (120 g) confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 recipe homemade blueberry sauce, or canned blueberry pie filling, chilled
Instructions
Crust
- Whisk together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar until a wet sand-like mixture forms.
- Press mixture into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a springform pan. Transfer to the refrigerator while you make the filling.
Filling
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or using a hand mixer), beat cream cheese, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and salt. Beat until well combined and mixture is stiff. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Spread mixture over chilled crust. Be gentle so not to break the crust.
- Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 3 hours.
- Top with chilled blueberry pie filling before serving.
Notes
Cream cheese: Use full-fat and block-style. Other varieties aren't as thick and don't have as good a structure.
Blueberry sauce can be made from scratch or store-bought. Remember to chill the sauce before adding it to the top of the cheesecake. If it's warm, the cheesecake will melt.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze for up to 3 months. Flash freeze for 1 hour, then wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Store in the freezer, then defrost in the refrigerator before serving.
