Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lime
- 2 tbsp lime juice
For the Blueberry Swirl:
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (slurry)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then cool.
- In a saucepan, cook the blueberries, sugar, and lime juice over medium heat until the blueberries break down. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in sour cream, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust. Spoon the blueberry mixture on top and swirl gently with a knife.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve chilled and garnish with fresh blueberries and lime zest.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free graham crackers for the crust.
- Don’t worry if the cheesecake is slightly jiggly in the center after baking. It will firm up while cooling.
- Store in the refrigerator for 4–5 days or freeze slices for up to 2 months.
