Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of melted butter, mixing until crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased springform pan.
- Place the crust in the preheated oven and bake for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool slightly while preparing the filling.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 16 ounces of cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding 1 cup of sugar, ½ cup of sour cream, and 2 large eggs. Finally, blend in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gently fold in 1 ½ cups of fresh blueberries with a spatula to distribute them evenly throughout the filling.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until edges are set but the center jiggles slightly.
- Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for about 1 hour. Then, let it cool to room temperature before refrigerating for at least four hours, preferably overnight.
- Release the cheesecake from the springform pan, garnish as desired, slice with a warm knife, and enjoy every bite.

Notes
Always bring cream cheese and eggs to room temperature for a smooth filling. Avoid overmixing the eggs to prevent cracks during baking. Watch the baking time to ensure a perfectly set cheesecake.
