The egg yolks add richness to the filling to create a smooth and silky texture. The egg whites influence the cheesecake&#8217;s structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the blueberry sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat for five minutes or until the berries are softened. In a small glass measuring cup, combine the cornstarch and water and whisk together until smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberry mixture, then bring to a boil. Cook and stir for two minutes or until thickened, then remove from the heat. Cool the blueberry mixture to room temperature, then transfer to a blender. Cover and process until smooth. Set aside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Make the crust<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet, then bake at 350\u00b0F for 10 minutes. Remove promptly and cool on a wire rack.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip:<\/em> To evenly press crumb crust into a pan, use the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Make the cream cheese filling<\/h3>\n<p>In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add the sour cream, flour and vanilla and continue to beat until well incorporated. Add the eggs, beating at a low speed until just combined.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Swirl in the blueberry sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Pour the cream cheese filling over the cooled crust. Then, drizzle 3 tablespoons of the blueberry jam mixture over the top. Next, cut through the batter with a knife to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/swirl-cheesecake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/swirl-cheesecake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">swirl the sauce through the cheesecake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Bake the cheesecake<\/h3>\n<p>Return the springform pan to the baking sheet and transfer it to the oven. Bake the blueberry cheesecake until the center is almost set, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then carefully run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen. Cool for 1 hour longer, then transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.<\/p>\n<p>To serve, remove the outer ring from the springform pan and cut the cheesecake into slices.

For best results, freeze the cheesecake wrapped tightly in a layer of storage wrap and a layer of heavy-duty foil.<\/p>\n<p>When ready to eat, defrost completely in the fridge before serving.<\/p>\n<h2>Blueberry Cheesecake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2123561\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Blueberry-Cheesecake_TOHWinter26_23020_MD_P2_02_25_5b.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Close shot of Contest-Winning Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake; cut into slices and served on plates\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">MARK DERSE FOR TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you prevent blueberry cheesecake from cracking?<\/h3>\n<p>The flour in this recipe provides some insurance, but there are some other tricks to safeguard your cheesecake. First, when adding the eggs, beat <em>just<\/em> until they are blended into the filling. Beating the eggs too long can incorporate too much air into the batter and cause the cheesecake to rise and then fall too much while baking. Second, resist the urge to open the oven door while baking. Cheesecakes benefit from consistent heat and humidity, and opening the oven door disrupts this. Finally, cool your cheesecake slowly. Immediately transferring it to the fridge can cause a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cracked-cheesecake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cracked-cheesecake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">cracked cheesecake<\/a>\u00a0too.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you need a water bath to make blueberry cheesecake?<\/h3>\n<p>No. While many cheesecake recipes recommend a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-water-bath\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-water-bath\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">water bath<\/a>, it&#8217;s not always necessary, depending on the composition of your cheesecake filling. That said, a water bath is an easy way to help prevent a cheesecake from cracking, keep it moist and promote a more even bake.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you use frozen blueberries for blueberry cheesecake?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make the blueberry sauce with frozen berries instead of fresh blueberries. Just note that you may need to either cook the sauce longer in order for it to thicken properly or add additional cornstarch since frozen blueberries tend to contain more water than fresh blueberries.<\/p>\n<p>If adding whole blueberries to the cheesecake, do <em>not<\/em> add frozen berries. They release too much water during the baking process and negatively impact the blueberry cheesecake&#8217;s texture and consistency.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you know when a cheesecake is done baking?<\/h3>\n<p>It can be tricky to know when a cheesecake is done. The best way to judge a cheesecake for doneness is to perform the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-test\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cheesecake-test\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wobble test<\/a>. Near the end of baking, take a wooden spoon and gently tap the side of your cheesecake pan. If the surface of the cheesecake ripples and appears shiny, it&#8217;s not done. When the entire surface wobbles as one solid sheet and appears slightly dull, that&#8217;s a good indicator that the cheesecake is ready to be removed from the oven.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re OK with poking holes in your cheesecake, use an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/why-you-need-an-instant-read-meat-thermometer\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">instant-read thermometer<\/a> to check the internal temperature. When it registers 150\u00b0, your blueberry cheesecake is done baking.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The swirls in this blueberry cheesecake are made with a couple tablespoons of simple blueberry sauce.

It is absolutely perfect, whether you bake it as a plain cheesecake, strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, lemon or even mango!!!! The possibilities of it are truly endless I've even made a chocolate version using this recipe!!! It comes out perfect everytime but the only thing I suggest is always bake your cheesecakes in a \"bath\" that's how you achieve that perfect bake without a burn especially because this recipe has alot of sour cream and that keeps the cheesecake extremely moist and jiggle (the way you want it) but that also means when the 40-45 mins are up... It still looks jiggly but that's okay!! It doesn't mean it isn't cooked I tend to leave the cheesecake in the oven for an hour after it's been turned off (still in the bath) and let it cool down (the cheesecake continues to bake even after the ovens been turned off and if you use a bath it doesn't crack either!!) so definitely try this recipe you will love it ????","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2020-08-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"HElizabeth "},"reviewBody":"I made this recipe using wild Montana huckleberries and it turned out beautifully. I have a large spring form pan and the batter filled it to make a beautiful deep cheesecake. The center of the cake should jiggle a bit when done because it continues to cook out of the oven. I used a water bath to encourage even baking and set the oven to 325 degrees as recommended by most cheesecake recipes. Velvety and beautiful.

I have made it a few times and everyone always loves it. Last time I had some trouble with it cracking and the ends were a little dry. Then I remembered I put it in a pan of water ( it had been a few years since I last made it). This time I made it but skipped the blueberry topping and left it plain, I made sure all ingredients were at room temperature first. Then I filled a large pan with water and put a large quiche pan (ceramic) and put that in the water ( instead of foil) then placed the springform pan with the cheesecake inside of the quiche dish. I baked it for 55 min ( without opening the doors) and then turned off the oven and propped it open about an inch with a wooden spoon. I let it cool in the oven for an hour. I removed it out of the oven and then ran the knive ( dull side of butter knife) along the outside of the edges. And let cool completely for a few hours and then covered with plastic wrap ( with rim still on so it doesn't touch the top). It was the best one I have made-no cracks, no sunken middle and no dry edges. The perfect cheesecake. I love the blueberry but this one has caramel sauce ready to be drizzled over the top!
