Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake #SummerDessertWeek

This blueberry lemon cheesecake was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

I’m a huge fan of blueberry and lemon desserts so making a blueberry lemon cheesecake to kick off Summer Dessert Week… well, it’s a match made in heaven. 

Have I ever mentioned cheesecake is my kryptonite?

And with the addition of a lemon cookie crust, this blueberry lemon cheesecake is kryptonite with a capital K.

After I used lemon cookies to make this homemade ice cream, I knew I had to carry the goodness over to cheesecake, so I crushed up cookies, added a bit of melted butter and made a cookie crust for my blueberry lemon cheesecake. 

Make sure you’re using a high-quality springform pan — it matters. The Anolon pan I’m using is an excellent pan!

Pour the cheesecake filling over the top of the crust.

Now bake!

To help prevent cracks in your cheesecake, you’ll want to keep the air humid as it’s baking by immersing your cheesecake in a water bath or by placing a pan of hot water beneath your cheesecake pan. I’m all for the easiest way, so I use a pan of hot water on the rack underneath the cheesecake.

Another helpful tip to prevent cracking is to turn off the oven when the cheesecake is done baking, crack the door and let the cheesecake sit in the cooling oven for an hour. Remove from oven to cool completely, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Meanwhile, make a blueberry compote and let that cool completely as well.

Spoon the blueberry compote over each slice of blueberry lemon cheesecake or on top of the entire thing.

Enjoy!
