Ingredients

Scale

½ cup melted butter
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups fresh blueberries
¾ cup sugar (divided)
2 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice
3 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese (softened)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 large eggs
½ cup sour cream

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter; press into the bottom of the pan for the crust.
For the blueberry sauce, cook blueberries, ¾ cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium heat until thickened; let cool.
Beat together cream cheese, remaining sugar, and vanilla until smooth; add eggs one at a time followed by sour cream.
Layer half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust, then half of the blueberry sauce; repeat layers.
Create a marbled effect with a knife and bake for 60-70 minutes until slightly jiggly in the center.
Cool on a wire rack for an hour before chilling in the refrigerator for at least four hours or overnight.
