🛒 Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Blueberry Topping
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- ½ cup blueberry jam or preserves
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Make the Crust
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Continue mixing until well combined and smooth.
3. Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overbeat it.
4. Combine the Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Keep the mixture light and fluffy.
5. Fill the Crust
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the chilled graham cracker crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
6. Chill
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm. For the best results, you can chill it overnight.
7. Add the Blueberry Topping
Just before serving, spread the blueberry jam evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the jam.
Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
⭐ Tips for Success
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest and creamiest texture.
- Make sure the cream cheese is properly softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- Chill the crust first so it firms up before the filling is added.
- Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks to help give the cheesecake structure.
- For cleaner slices, chill the cheesecake overnight.
- Add the fresh blueberries shortly before serving for the freshest appearance.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions
Serve each slice chilled with extra fresh blueberries on top. For an extra-special presentation, add a small dollop of whipped cream or a few mint leaves.
This cheesecake also pairs beautifully with coffee, tea, or a glass of cold milk.
🧊 Storage
Keep the cheesecake covered and refrigerated. It is best enjoyed within 3–4 days.
You can also freeze individual slices in an airtight container for longer storage. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
