Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF). Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, combine digestive or graham crackers with granulated sugar until finely crushed. Mix in melted butter and press into the springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- In a mixing bowl, toss fresh blueberries with sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Set aside to soak up flavors.
- In another bowl, combine flour and dark brown sugar for the crumble, then mix in melted butter until crumbly.
- In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, sour cream, cornstarch, and vanilla. Mix in eggs until lumps are gone.
- Pour the cheesecake mixture into the crust. Sprinkle blueberries and crumble topping over.
- Place the springform pan into a larger baking dish with hot water. Bake for 80-90 minutes until the center jiggles slightly.
- After baking, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.
- Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes
Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing the eggs to prevent cracks. Use a water bath for even cooking and cooling to minimize cracks.
