Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Electric mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking sheet
  • Spatula
  • Knife

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 12–14 full‑size crackers
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 24 ounces cream cheese, full‑fat, at room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream, at room temperature
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries if frozen, do not thaw
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch or all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup all‑purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup old‑fashioned rolled oats
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease the sides of a 9‑inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper if desired.
  • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Stir in 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into the bottom of the pan and about 1/2 inch up the sides. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or flour), and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the light brown sugar, 1/2 cup all‑purpose flour, and oats. Drizzle in 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter and stir until small clumps form. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add 1 cup granulated sugar, mixing on low. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, then the 2 tablespoons all‑purpose flour, mixing just until combined.
  • Beat in the sour cream until the mixture is silky. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing on low and only until each is incorporated. Do not over‑mix.
  • Pour the batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the blueberry mixture evenly over the batter, then sprinkle the crumble topping in a thin, even layer.
  • Place the pan on a baking sheet and bake for 60–70 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is only slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven, crack the door with a wooden spoon, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, before slicing.

Notes

  • Room‑temperature cream cheese, sour cream, and eggs blend more smoothly and reduce the risk of lumps.
  • If the crumble starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pan with foil after about 40 minutes of baking.
  • Use a thin knife dipped in warm water and wipe it clean between slices for clean portions.
