Ingredients
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and sour cream. Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cheesecake at 325°F (165°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour with the door slightly ajar. Afterward, transfer the cheesecake to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the mixture thickens and the blueberries release their juices, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oats, flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Once the cheesecake has chilled, spread the blueberry topping evenly over the top. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberries.
- Slice the cheesecake and enjoy the creamy, fruity, and crunchy layers!
Notes
If using frozen blueberries, be sure to thaw and drain them before cooking.
Make ahead: The cheesecake can be prepared a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
If you don’t have a springform pan, you can use a 9-inch round cake pan, but removing the cheesecake may be trickier.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or a gluten-free crumb mixture for the crust.
