Instructions

Prepare Your Tools: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
Make the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan to form an even crust.
Create the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine ¾ cup sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and blueberries. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gently fold in the sour cream.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust. Layer with half of the blueberry sauce. Add the remaining cream cheese mixture and top with the rest of the blueberry sauce. Gently swirl the layers using a knife.
Bake: Place the springform pan in the oven and bake for 60–70 minutes, or until the center is set.
Cool and Chill: Let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Garnish and Serve: Before serving, garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves for a stunning presentation.

Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth filling.
Prevent Cracks: Using a water bath or placing a pan of hot water on the oven rack below the cheesecake can help create a moist baking environment.
Chill for Best Flavor: Refrigerating the cheesecake overnight enhances the flavors and texture.
