  • Total Time: 3 hours
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

– 1 Β½ cups graham cracker crumbs

– ΒΌ cup granulated sugar

– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

– 4 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened

– 1 cup granulated sugar

– 1 cup sour cream

– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

– 3 large eggs

– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

– 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

– 1 tablespoon lemon juice

– 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water

– Edible silver dust or sprinkles for a starry night effect

Instructions

1-Prepare the Crust: Mix together 1 Β½ cups graham cracker crumbs, ΒΌ cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, then let it cool.

2-Make the Cheesecake Batter: In a large bowl, beat 4 packages of softened cream cheese with 1 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 1 cup sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated, then beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, just until combined to keep the texture perfect.

3-Create the Midnight Blueberry Swirl: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup blueberries, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook until the blueberries soften and release their juices, then stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Let it cool before using.

4-Assemble and Bake: Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top. Add dollops of the blueberry swirl and use a skewer to create swirls. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the edges are set but the center still jiggles slightly, then turn off the oven and let it cool inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

5-Decorate and Serve: Dust with edible silver dust or sprinkles for that starry look, and slice it up for your next themed party or quiet book night.
