How to Make Fabulous Cheesecake With Blueberry Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  3. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until well combined.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Pour batter over the graham cracker crust.
  6. Place the springform pan in a larger baking pan. Pour enough hot water into the larger pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan (this creates a water bath for even baking).
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
  9. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
  10. Once completely cool, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  11. While the cheesecake is chilling, prepare the blueberry glaze:
  12. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  13. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the glaze has thickened.
  14. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  15. Once the cheesecake is chilled, pour the blueberry glaze over the top.
  16. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
