Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 20 Golden Oreos, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Batter:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 7 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature

For the Blueberry Topping:

  • 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice

For Decorating:

  • Freshly whipped cream
  • Lemon slices

Instructions

1. Make the Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick spray.
  • Crush the Golden Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until well-coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Batter:

  • In a stand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar together until smooth. Add cornstarch, sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt, mixing until fully combined.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  • Pour the batter into the cooled crust and smooth the top.

3. Bake the Cheesecake:

  • Prepare a water bath by placing a roasting pan filled with hot water in the oven’s bottom rack.
  • Place the cheesecake on the rack above and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is nearly set.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake rest for 1 hour. Afterward, remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. Chill for at least 8 hours or overnight in the fridge.

4. Make the Blueberry Topping:

  • In a medium saucepan, cook blueberries over medium heat until they soften and release their juices (about 3 minutes).
  • In a separate bowl, combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add this mixture to the blueberries and stir until the sauce thickens (about 3-5 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let the topping cool completely in the refrigerator.

5. Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Once the cheesecake has chilled and the topping has cooled, spread the blueberry topping evenly over the cheesecake.
  • Pipe a border of whipped cream along the edges and garnish with lemon slices for an elegant touch.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature to avoid lumps in the batter.
  • Water Bath: This ensures even baking and helps prevent cracks in your cheesecake.
  • Chill Time: Be patient and allow the cheesecake to chill for the best texture and flavor.
