Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

      Make the blueberry swirl:

        In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook, stirring gently, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Use a fork or a blender to lightly mash the blueberries for a smoother consistency. Set aside.

          Prepare the cheesecake filling:

            In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the sugar and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just blended. Add the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy again.

              Combine and swirl:

                Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled crust. Take spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture and dollop it on top of the cheesecake filling. Use a knife or a toothpick to gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the cheesecake, creating a beautiful marbled effect.

                  Bake the cheesecake:

                    Bake in the preheated oven for about 55-70 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle. Turn off the oven and crack the oven door, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for about 1 hour.

                      Chill:

                        After the cheesecake has cooled, refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.

                          Serve:

                            Run a knife around the edge of the springform pan to loosen the cheesecake before removing the sides. Slice and serve it chilled, garnished with additional fresh blueberries if desired.
