Equipment

  • springform pan

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until resembling wet sand. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3–5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time on low speed. Gradually incorporate vanilla bean paste, sour cream, heavy cream, and cornstarch until just blended. Pour over cooled crust.
Bake & Chill
  1. Place the springform pan inside a larger roasting pan filled with hot water to create a water bath. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 50–60 minutes, until the center slightly jiggles but is mostly set. Cool in the oven for an hour then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Prepare Blueberry Compote
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and zest. Cook until blueberries burst, about 5–7 minutes. For thickness, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add and stir until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.
Serve
  1. Use a hot knife to slice the cheesecake. Spoon blueberry compote on each slice and add fresh blueberries or edible flowers for garnish.
