Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes while preparing the next steps.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice and stir gently for about 5–7 minutes until thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy, then gradually add sugar and vanilla extract.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then fold in sour cream.
- Pour half of the cream cheese filling into the chilled crust, dollop half of the blueberry mixture over it, and swirl together.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and blueberry mixture and bake in a water bath at 325°F for 60–75 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about an hour to cool gradually.
- Transfer to a wire rack, cover, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Release the sides of the springform pan and garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves before serving.
