Instructions

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 0.25 cup sugar in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cornstarch. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes until the fruit breaks down and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and cool to 20 degrees Celsius.
  • Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until homogenous and aerated.
  • Incorporate lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture at low speed.
  • In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon cream cheese base in three stages to maintain volume.
  • Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Deposit spoonfuls of the blueberry reduction onto the surface and swirl with a skewer.
  • Top with the remaining cheesecake filling and blueberry sauce, repeating the swirling technique for the final layer.
  • Refrigerate the assembly for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the proteins and fats to stabilize before service.
