Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs and sugar in a bowl, then stir in melted butter. Press mixture into a 9-inch springform pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool.
- In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Simmer while stirring until thickened (about 8–10 minutes). Cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and beat again. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Pour half of the filling over the crust. Swirl in half of the blueberry compote. Add remaining filling and swirl in remaining compote for a marbled effect.

- Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Garnish cheesecake with whipped cream, fresh blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon slices before serving.
