1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Stir in sour cream until fully combined
Pour filling into the prepared crust
In a small saucepan, cook blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat
Stir until thickened (3-4 minutes), then swirl onto the cheesecake
Place pan in a cooling oven and let sit off heat for 1 hour

The oven-off cooling method prevents cracks
Cornstarch helps thicken blueberry topping
