- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 15 cookies)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.
- In a small bowl, mash blueberries with lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer. Swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
- Pour the remaining cream cheese mixture over the blueberry swirl.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- For a no-crack cheesecake, ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Avoid overmixing the batter.
- Wrap the outside of the springform pan tightly with foil before baking if you plan to use a water bath for extra moisture.
- This cheesecake is best made the day before serving to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set.
- Serve with extra fresh blueberries or a dollop of whipped cream.
