Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 70 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

40 70 110

Ingredients

1-1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water
CRUST:
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 16 squares)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted
FILLING:
3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup (8 ounces) sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook and stir over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the berries are softened. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into the blueberry mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature. Transfer to a blender; cover and process until smooth. Set aside.
For crust, in a small bowl, combine the crumbs and sugar; stir in the butter. Press onto the bottom of a greased 9-in. springform pan. Place pan on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Beat in the sour cream, flour and vanilla. Add eggs; beat on low speed just until combined. Pour filling over crust. Drizzle with blueberry mixture; cut through batter with a knife to swirl.
Return pan to baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until center is almost set. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edge of pan to loosen; cool 1 hour longer.
Refrigerate overnight. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 12 servings.

This is such a great recipe! 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! Yumm

I've made this with raspberries and it was very nice. I think next time I use raspberries I'll strain out the seeds. I don't mind them but others do.

I made several cheesecakes for my daughter's wedding. This was one of the recipes that I used, and it turned out fantastic! It was creamy, the blueberry taste was just right and it froze beautifully. I also used this recipe for a strawberry swirl. I will definitely make this again.
