Blueberry Cheesecake
This cheesecake is rich and creamy while still remaining light and fluffy. The decadent glaze makes it a gorgeous centerpiece for your dessert assortment or slice into small squares for bite-size treats. Tip: freeze blueberries after the peak season and use in recipes like these!
Serves: 6-8 (Yields 1 - 9 inch cake)
- Ingredients
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups For You® blueberries
1/3 cup blueberry jelly
- Directions
Combine crumbs, 2 tablespoons sugar and butter. Pat mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch pan. Mash cream cheese until soft and creamy. Gradually beat in sour cream, 3/4 cup sugar, vanilla and flour. Beat in eggs one at a time.
Pour mixture into crumb-lined pan. Bake in a preheated 325 degree F (165 degrees C) oven for 1 hour or until firm to the touch.
