Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, combine gra cracker cbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even layer.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue beating until well incorporated.
  3. Add the eggs one by one, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  4. Mix in the sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest until everything is well combined and smooth.
Baking
  1. Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (160°C) for about 50 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven, crack the oven door, and allow the cheesecake to cool inside for about an hour.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, if possible.
Serving
  1. Before serving, sprinkle fresh blueberries on top. Optionally, create a quick blueberry syrup by simmering blueberries with a bit of sugar until juicy.
  2. Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and slice into servings. Enjoy every creamy, tangy bite!

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and avoid overmixing to prevent cracking.
