  • Total Time: 480
  • Yield: 12 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale

24 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup sour cream
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 cups graham crackers, finely crushed
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl and press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove and allow it to cool completely.
Beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and lump-free.
Slowly add the granulated sugar on low speed.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing until just blended after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream until smooth.
Pour the batter into the prepared crust.
Place the pan in a water bath and bake until the edges are set but the center remains slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven, let cool to room temperature, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours before topping with fresh blueberries.

Notes

Always use room-temperature ingredients to avoid lumps in the batter. A water bath is essential for even cooking and preventing cracks. Patience is key; do not rush the cooling or chilling time in the refrigerator.
