Ingredients

For the cheesecake:

  • 2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch divided
  • 24 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
  • 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 large eggs at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract divided
  • 1 1/2 cups sour cream at room temperature

For the topping:

  • 1/3 cup reserved blueberry puree
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

For the cheesecake:

  1. Combine 2 1/2 cups blueberries and 1 tablespoon cornstarch in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  2. Cook puree in a small saucepan over medium-heat for 13 minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature. Reserve 1/3 cup cooked puree for topping.
  4. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  5. Beat cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
  6. Whisk together 1 cup sugar, remaining 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and salt in a small bowl. Gradually add to cream cheese, mixing well.
  7. Add eggs, beating well after each addition (beat on medium speed).
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla.
  9. Pour batter into prepared springform pan.
  10. Dollop blueberry puree on batter. Gently swirl puree into batter with a knife.
  11. Bake for 1 hour, or until set. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. The cheesecake will crack. It's okay because it will be covered up.
  12. Stir together sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a small bowl. Spread on top of cheesecake.
  13. Bake for an additional 10 minutes. Cool cheesecake on a wire rack to room temperature. Cover and chill overnight.

For the topping:

  1. Combine 1/3 cup reserved blueberry puree, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4 water in a small saucepan.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened (about 10 minutes).
  3. Gently stir in 1 1/2 cups blueberries. Cool to room temperature. (Or make in advance and chill with cheesecake overnight).
  4. Remove sides of springform pan. Spoon topping over cheesecake.
