Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the heavy cream, eggs, vanilla extract, flour, lemon juice, and salt to the bowl. Mix until well combined and smooth, scraping down the sides as needed.
  4. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them apart.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the top is deeply golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly.
  7. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
  8. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
  9. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan and peel away the parchment paper. Slice and serve chilled.
