Every time I decide to bake one, it only last for two days.

Between my husband and son, it may be finished by the same day.

It’s a competition to see who eats the more.

I just can’t with them.

Let’s just say, that this homemade blueberry cheesecake is pure Heaven, once you put that first piece in your mouth.

My husband told me that the best time to eat the cheesecake is the next day, because that’s when you can taste the combination of all the flavors coming together.

And this is so true.

A delicious Blueberry Cheesecake.

Making the Graham Cracker crust

For this Cheesecake Crust, I used Graham Crackers, melted butter and cinnamon.

I didn’t add any sugar to the crust. I think the Graham Crackers are already sweet, so I didn’t think it needed to be any sweeter.

Use the bottom of a drinking glass or a measuring cup, to spread the crust evenly and tight.

Spread the crust up on the sides too.

I prebake the crust for about 8 to 10 minutes.

Two other recipes that you can check out with this graham cracker crust are my Mini Cheesecake and Sweet Potato Pie recipe.

Making a water bath for the Blueberry Cheesecake

If you can use a roasting pan to create a water bath, please do.

If not, then use the deepest baking sheet pan.

All you do is fill the roasting pan with hot water to about 3/4 to 1 inch.

Wrap the springform pan with foil wrap, put it in the roasting pan and then in the oven.

Or if you can place the roasting pan in the oven, pour the hot water in it and then put in the springform pan that is wrapped with foil wrap.

Try not to open the oven

Try to minimize opening your oven to look at the cheesecake.

Please wait until it is finished baking or just about close to finish, before opening up the oven.

If by any chance you open the oven before the baking time, it might cause some cracking or even the cheesecake to sink too much.

Plus, you don’t want to cause a sudden drop in the temperature.

Can I freeze this Blueberry Cheesecake

Oh sure, you can freeze your cheesecake without any topping or garnish.

After you leave it on the counter top to cool, let it chill in the fridge for about 4 hours and then by all means you can start the freezing process below.

Remove the outer rim of the springform pan before freezing the cheesecake.

You can let the bottom of the springform pan on or use a round cake board that fits the size cake.

Start by wrapping the cheesecake all together with plastic wrap (a few layers wont hurt) and then with foil wrap.

The cheesecake is ready to be stored in the freezer for about 2 to 3 months.

To thaw the cheesecake, put it in the refrigerator overnight still wrapped in the foil and plastic wrap.

Do not defrost the cheesecake in the microwave.

How to make a Blueberry Cheesecake

Make your Graham Cracker crust, bake it and set it aside for the batter.

Prepare the cheesecake filling by mixing the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, vanilla extract and eggs. Pour it on the crust and bake.

Once you are finish baking your Blueberry Cheesecake, grab yourself a can of blueberry pie filling and add it on the top of it (once you have allow it to cool) and then let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours or overnight.

However, you can choose not to use the entire can of pie filling and just do a blueberry cheesecake swirl on the top with some of the filling.
