- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The cheesecake should be firm around the edges but still slightly wobbly in the center.
- Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- After 1 hour, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to fully set.
Step 4: Prepare the Blueberry Topping
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.
- Remove from heat and let the blueberry topping cool to room temperature. Once cooled, spread it evenly over the chilled cheesecake.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Slice and serve with the fresh blueberry topping.
- This cheesecake is rich, creamy, and packed with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. Enjoy!
