Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan.
-
Make the crust: Mix graham crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
-
Prepare the blueberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook until juicy, then stir in cornstarch slurry. Simmer until thickened. Cool completely.
-
Make the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest.
-
Pour cheesecake filling into cooled crust. Spoon blueberry mixture on top and gently swirl with a knife or toothpick.
-
Make the crumble topping: Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in butter with a fork or your fingers until crumbly. Sprinkle over cheesecake.
-
Reduce oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake for 50–60 minutes, until edges are set and center jiggles slightly.
-
Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake cool for 30 minutes. Chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
-
Slice, serve, and enjoy that gorgeous layered bite!
Notes
-
Use room temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.
-
The lemon zest brightens everything—don’t skip it if you can help it!
-
You can make the blueberry swirl a day in advance and refrigerate it.
-
Want extra crumble? Double the topping—it’s that good.
-
For perfectly clean slices, dip your knife in hot water between cuts.
