Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

For the blueberry topping:

2 cups fresh blueberries

½ cup granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

    Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.

      Add the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sprinkle in the flour and mix until just incorporated (avoid over-mixing).

        Combine and bake: Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.

          Cool the cheesecake: Once baked, turn off the oven, crack the door open, and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about an hour. This helps prevent cracking. Afterward, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

            Prepare the blueberry topping: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently until the blueberries start to burst and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

              Thicken the topping: Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.

                Assemble: Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread the blueberry topping evenly over the surface.
