Ingredients:

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Filling:

  • 24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries

For the Topping:

  • 1 cup crème fraîche
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preparing the Crust:

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil to prevent leaks.

In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.

2. Crafting the Filling:

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and crème fraîche until smooth. Add sugar and beat until combined.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.

Gently fold in fresh blueberries with a spatula.

Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

3. Baking and Chilling:

Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.

Bake the cheesecake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 1 hour.

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

4. Perfecting the Topping:

In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Spread the topping over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
