My Mother's Blueberry Cheesecake
Posted by LuAnn for CNC
"Of all the elegant cheesecake recipes in my possession, I probably treasure none more than my mother's simple, but delicious "Blueberry Cheesecake" which she made ever since I was a child. She'd either use fresh Michigan blueberries, or ones she'd frozen for the topping. Incidently, this is also one of my DH's favorites."
CRUST:
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup melted butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
Blend and press into a 7 x 11-inch shallow baking pan
FILLING:
Beat together:
2 eggs
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
Add and blend well:
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Preheat oven to 375 *F.
Spread filling over crust. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cool. Spread with Blueberry Topping (see recipe below, or use 1 can prepared blueberry pie filling).
HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY TOPPING:
Cook together in a saucepan until thickened and "clear":
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
Remove from heat, cool slightly and stir in:
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (4 cups total)
