Ingredients
Method
Preparation of Crust
- In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan.
- Pop it in the fridge while you make the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fully incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream with a rubber spatula.
Adding Blueberry Swirl
- Spoon half of the cream cheese filling over the chilled crust.
- Warm the blueberry jam slightly so it's easier to swirl, then dollop spoonfuls across the filling.
- Use a thin knife or skewer to make soft swirls, then spoon the remaining filling on top and repeat with more jam dollops and swirls.
Assembly
- Smooth the top, scatter a cup of fresh blueberries across the surface.
- Drizzle the blueberry sauce over the top.
Chill and Serve
- Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, release from the springform pan, garnish with extra blueberries and mint leaves, slice, and serve.
Notes
Serve chilled, pairs well with coffee or iced tea. Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days, or freeze slices for up to 1 month.
