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.

I made this for my friends at work and for my family and everyone that tasted it said that it is really creamy, Delicious and looks very pretty. I have made this with different flavors and it still turns out the same every time. I used frozen blueberries. topped it with whole blueberries and the syrup or sauce. I will definitely put this recipe in my cook book.
