Would You Eat … Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake? 𢡄
Ingredients:
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest
– 1/4 cup lemon juice
– 1/2 cup butter, melted
– 1 cup sour cream
– 4 large eggs
– 1 cup sugar
– 2 cups fresh blueberries
– 4 packages 8 oz each cream cheese, softened
– 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Start by preheating your oven to 325F 165C and greasing a 9-inch springform pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix well and press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create a delicious crust.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, lemon zest, and lemon juice until everything is fully combined.
6. Pour this luscious cheesecake filling over the crust in the springform pan.
7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly golden. Once done, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the oven door slightly ajar for about 1 hour.
8. After cooling, transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
9. For the blueberry topping, combine the fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
10. Allow the blueberry topping to cool before spooning it generously over the chilled cheesecake.
11. Slice and serve your delicious lemon blueberry cheesecake, and enjoy every bite!
