Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF). In a food processor, blend digestive cookies or graham crackers with sugar until finely crushed. Combine with melted unsalted butter until fully mixed. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until slightly golden, then cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Stir gently until blueberries are fully coated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix all-purpose flour with dark brown sugar. Add melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Beat full-fat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Gradually add granulated sugar, then sour cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Add eggs two at a time, mixing until combined but not overbeaten.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust, smoothing it out. Distribute the blueberry filling evenly on top. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberries.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake for 1 hour and 20–30 minutes until the center is wobbly but set. The edges should be firm and the top slightly golden.
- Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool for about 1 hour. Remove the pan from the water bath and cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least 6 hours or overnight.

Notes
Allowing your Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake to chill overnight enhances flavor and texture. Use a water bath to prevent cracks and ensure creaminess.
