Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup sour cream room temperature
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest freshly grated
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries tossed in 1 tsp flour to prevent sinking
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For the best clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between each cut. You can substitute blueberries with raspberries for a different tart flavor profile.
