How to make Blueberry Cheesecake
To make a scrumptious blueberry cheesecake, start by preparing the crust. Continue with preparing the blueberry filling and crisp topping. Next prepare the cream cheese filling and then you can assemble the cheesecake. Bake the cheesecake and let cool to room temperature before refrigerating.
Prepare the cookie crust
Place the crackers or digestive biscuits into the bowl of a food processor and crush them until they turn into fine crumbs. Add sugar to the crumbs and pour in the melted butter. Mix everything together until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Take the mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of a 8-inch (20 cm) pan. Bake the crust at 350°F (180°C) for 10-13 minutes until the crust becomes lightly golden. Once baked, set the crust aside and allow it to cool completely.
Now, it’s time to reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) in preparation for baking the cheesecake.
Prepare the crisp topping and blueberry filling
For the crisp topping, combine oats, sugar, and all-purpose flour in a medium bowl, whisking until well combined. Incorporate melted butter into the mixture until it becomes crumbly. Set it aside for now.
In another medium bowl, place the blueberries and add lemon juice, sugar, and flour. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated. Set this aside as well while you move on to the cream cheese filling.
Prepare the cream cheese filling
In a large bowl, mix the cream cheese with sugar, salt, lemon zest and flour, mixing until everything is combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated. Add vanilla extract and sour cream and mix until well combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid incorporating too much air.
Assemble the blueberry cheesecake
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust in the baking pan. Gently spread the blueberries on top, and sprinkle the oat topping over the blueberries. Place the cheesecake in the oven and bake at 300°F (150°C) for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour.
After baking, turn off the heat and leave the cheesecake in the oven for an additional hour. Then, carefully remove it and run a sharp knife around the inside edge of the pan. Allow it to cool completely at room temperature before covering and refrigerating overnight.
When ready to serve, transfer the cheesecake to a serving platter and dust it with powdered sugar. Enjoy it as is or serve it with a delicious blueberry sauce on the side.
Whether you enjoy it on a warm summer day or as a comforting treat during colder times, this blueberry cheesecake is a classic dessert that never disappoints. Hope you will try it out. If you do, don’t forget to share the photos with me on Instagram. Enjoy!

Slightly different but delicious cheesecake recip.
Yes.. it is delightful. Let me know if you try it out.
This was great! thank you! I have made many of your recipes and all are fantastic!
Can you perhaps show in one of your videos how you actually transfer this cheesecake (or a similar one) to a serving dish. I usually bake the cheesecake in a pan with removable base and then I just transfer it to a serving dish with the base- but would like to see how you remove the cake from the base properly. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed the cake. Well, when I transfer cheesecake or any other cake to a platter, I typically use two knives or large spatulas to carefully lift it from the base. I prefer to line the base of the pan with parchment paper to make the process smoother, though it’s still quite a challenging task! Sometimes, I worry about accidentally breaking the cake, but thankfully, everything has turned out well so far.
