Real Blueberry Cheesecake

This cheesecake is full of blueberries. Real blueberries. Inside and Out.

Real Blueberry Cheesecake

Have you ever seen a TRUE Blueberry Cheesecake?

Not just flavored blueberry. And not just a blueberry color.

In all my years of working with cheesecakes I have NEVER seen a true blueberry cheesecake filling.

I have found swirls of blueberry and plain cheesecake filling.

I have seen regular fillings with berries on top.

I have even seen a cream cheese filling with a few whole blueberries added in.

But this cheesecake is full of blueberries. Real blueberries.

Inside and Out.

These are the INGREDIENTS You will need:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 8 ounces sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup Cool Whip
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

These are the INSTRUCTIONS For preparation:

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar. Press into bottom and up sides of a 9 inch springform pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Beat softened cream cheese and add 1 cup sugar, flour and salt until blended. Add eggs, one at a time and blend.
  • Add sour cream, vanilla and lemon extracts. Gently stir in blueberries. Pour mixture into cooled crust.
  • Bake at 325 degrees for approximately 50 minutes. (Cheesecake will be done when it still jiggles in the middle.) Turn off oven and let remain in oven with door open for 20 minutes. Remove and let cool. Cover and chill cheesecake in refrigerator.
  • Lightly mix Cool Whip and 1/4 cup of sour cream. Spread over cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before cutting.

And you can’t beat the pop of fresh blueberry flavor throughout this cheesecake. 

No imposter tastes better than the real thing.

This Blueberry Cheesecake will draw everyone back to the table.

The presentation has such a WOW factor none of your guests will be able to resist it.

Blueberry Cheesecake Collage

One bite will tell them how fresh and flavorful a Blueberry Cheesecake can be when you use blueberries througout.

The blueberry sauce running down the sides of their piece will keep them speechless until the dessert time is over.

You will have a hard time getting your dinner guests to go home empty handed.

So be smart and make 2!!

if you like fresh fruit, and you love blueberries, then you simply need to sample this one!

    Recipe looks delightful & I’m going to pin it to attempt over the weekend ? One question though, I’m in the UK & I haven’t a clue what “Cool Whip” is? Is the equivalent something like Creme Fraiche, Fromage Frais or Icelandic/Greek Yogurt ? Or is it more cheesy, like Philadelphia soft cheese, quark or mascarpone? TIA,

    Reply
    • blankMarilyn says

      April 12, 2018 at 4:06 PM

      Thank you Linda. Cool Whip is a knock off for Whipping Cream. So, any products you may use will do. (And better). Cool Whip isn’t as healthy as whipping cream. In the states it is quite popular since it is a frozen product that thaws in an hour. You can just scoop and use. I hope you are going to enjoy this. Let me know how it turns out! Have a wonderful day.
