Scale
For the crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the cheesecake:
- 24 oz (680g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- Zest of 1 lime
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
For the swirl:
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
For decoration:

- Lime slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream, vanilla extract, eggs, lime zest, and lime juice, mixing until well combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, then pour the cheesecake mixture over the prepared crust.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lime juice for the swirl. Cook over low heat until the blueberries burst, then swirl the mixture into the cheesecake batter.
- Bake for about 55-60 minutes or until the center is almost set. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door slightly ajar.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to fully set.
- Before serving, decorate with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, and lime slices for an extra touch of freshness.
Notes
- Make sure to use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps in the batter.
- You can also add a bit of lime zest to the swirl for an added citrus punch.
- For a smoother swirl, blend the blueberry swirl mixture until smooth before adding it to the cheesecake.
