🕰️ A Brief History

Cheesecake dates back over 4,000 years to ancient Greece, where it was served to athletes during the first Olympic games. The creamy dessert has evolved through time, with New York-style cheesecake becoming a classic in the 20th century. Today, fruit toppings like fresh blueberries are adored worldwide for their natural sweetness and vibrant pop of color.

🍽️ Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, for a citrusy kick)

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp cold water (slurry)

👩‍🍳 Instructions & Methods

1️⃣ Make the Crust:

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a bowl.
  3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  4. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool while preparing the filling.

2️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  3. Stir in sour cream and lemon zest until just combined.
  4. Pour filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.

3️⃣ Bake the Cheesecake:

  1. Place the springform pan in a larger pan and fill the outer pan with hot water halfway up the sides (water bath method to prevent cracking).
  2. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until the center is almost set.
  3. Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let it sit for 1 hour.
  4. Remove from oven, let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4️⃣ Blueberry Topping Formation:

  1. In a saucepan, combine blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice.
  2. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened (2–3 minutes).
