Enjoy this bright and creamy Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake, a perfect dessert for spring gatherings. It features a tart lemon flavor paired with sweet blueberries atop a classic crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  5. Gradually beat in the 1 1/2 cups sugar and flour until just combined.
  6. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  7. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated after each addition. Do not overmix.
  8. Pour the batter over the cooled crust.
  9. Gently scatter the fresh blueberries over the top of the batter.
  10. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.
  11. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 1 hour. This prevents cracking.
  12. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.

Notes

  • Sasha suggests adding a tiny pinch of cardamom to the crust mixture for an unexpected warmth.
  • For the cleanest slice, run a thin knife under hot water and wipe it dry before each cut.
  • If you want a more intense lemon flavor, add an extra teaspoon of zest.
