Print Recipe

A rich and creamy cheesecake with a vibrant blueberry swirl and a hint of velvet texture, perfect for special occasions or a delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup blueberry preserves
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Purple and red food coloring (optional for velvet effect)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. Mix in vanilla extract, sour cream, flour, and salt until just combined.
  4. In a separate small bowl, combine blueberries, blueberry preserves, and lemon juice. Puree the mixture until smooth.
  5. Divide the cheesecake batter into two portions. Add purple and red food coloring to one portion to create the velvet effect, if desired.
  6. Pour half of the plain batter into the crust. Drop spoonfuls of the blueberry puree and colored batter alternately over the top. Use a knife to gently swirl the batters together for a marbled effect.
  7. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour to cool gradually.
  9. Remove from oven and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and fresh blueberries. Allow the cheesecake to chill thoroughly to develop its rich texture and flavor. The swirling technique creates a beautiful marbled effect that enhances the presentation.
