  • Add the sour cream, then the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Stir in the vanilla extract and gently fold in the fresh blueberries.

Baking

  • Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set.
  • Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.

Notes

Tips: Ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Don’t overmix after adding eggs. Use fresh berries for optimal flavor. The cheesecake should have a slight jiggle in the center when it’s done.
