Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake 🍋🫐 our farewell to Summer on this first day of Autumn!
Ingredients and Instructions ⬇
🍋🫐graham cracker crust
- 18 crushed graham cracker sheets
- 1/2 Cup melted butter
- 1/4 Cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
🍋🫐cheesecake filling
- 32oz softened cream cheese
- 4 eggs
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1/2 Cup sour cream
- 2 tsp of our Bourbon Vanilla Extract
🍋🫐lemon blueberry topping
- 1 Cup blueberries
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp of our Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp of our Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar
🍋🫐crumble topping
- 1 Cup flour
- 1/4 Cup brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp of our Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and line a springform pan with non-stick spray and parchment paper (we didn't have that type of pan, so we used a 13x9 dish)
2. Combine crust ingredients and press the mixture firmly into the pan.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, eggs, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla and beat together until well blended.
4. In a small skillet, add ingredients for the lemon blueberry topping and put over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it comes to a simmer, remove from heat and stir consistently for ~2 minutes. You can use a fork to mash the berries slightly.
5. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients for the crumble topping - should resemble wet sand.
6. Pour the cheesecake mixture over the crust. Spoon the lemon blueberry sauce evenly over the filling, and then sprinkle on the crumble topping.
7. Bake the cheesecake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 250 and bake for an additional 40 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake sit in the warm oven for about 30 minutes, then crack the oven door open and let the cheesecake cool down even more for 1 hour with the oven door open. After all this, you can bring the cheesecake out and let it reach room temperature (to help prevent cracking) and then refrigerate overnight.
🫐This recipe will take a few hours, and overnight, to complete, but it is one of the most delectably sweet and beautifully tart desserts we have ever made.🍋
