Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup fresh June blueberries
Instructions
Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until fully incorporated and smooth.
Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until the filling is creamy.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a few for topping.
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled crust.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
Before serving, remove the sides of the springform pan and top with the reserved fresh blueberries.
Notes
For the best texture, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
If you want a slightly thicker crust, bake it for 8 minutes at 350°F before chilling.
