# What You Need:

→ Crust

01 - 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, finely crushed
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

04 - 32 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 cup sour cream
07 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
08 - 3 large eggs

→ Blueberry Swirl

09 - 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
10 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
11 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
12 - 1 teaspoon cornstarch
13 - 2 tablespoons water

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 325°F. Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Mix until evenly moist.
02 - Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8–10 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and cool completely.
03 - Using a stand or hand mixer, blend cream cheese and 1 cup sugar until smooth. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed just until incorporated. Do not overmix to prevent cracking.
05 - In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer until berries burst and release juices. Stir in slurry of cornstarch and water, then cook 2–3 minutes until thickened. Allow to cool.
06 - Pour cheesecake batter over cooled crust and smooth the top. Add spoonfuls of cooled blueberry sauce over the surface. Use a skewer or butter knife to gently swirl, creating a marbled pattern.
07 - Bake for 50–60 minutes. The edges will be set, and the center slightly wobbly. For best results, use a water bath.
08 - Turn off oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then remove and cool to room temperature.
09 - Refrigerate cheesecake in the springform pan, covered, for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight before removing from the pan and serving.
10 - Decorate with additional blueberry swirl, edible silver stars, or whipped cream peaks for a magical finish. Slice and serve chilled.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use a water bath to ensure even baking and prevent cracks in the cheesecake topping.
02 - Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly for optimal slicing and creamy texture.
03 - Swirl the blueberry sauce gently for the signature magical appearance without overmixing.
04 - For gluten-free or vegan adaptations, substitute suitable crust and filling ingredients as needed.
