Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs (usually low sodium)
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 24 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 units large eggs
- 1 cup low sodium sour cream
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup blueberry preserves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by greasing it lightly.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted unsalted butter, and 2.5 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are moistened.
Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan, making sure the crust is even. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened low-fat cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Gradually add 1 cup of granulated sugar and continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, blending each egg into the mixture until fully incorporated.
Gently fold in the low sodium sour cream until evenly mixed.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust in the springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 55-65 minutes, or until the center is set and the top looks dry to touch (it may still jiggle slightly).
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for 1 hour.
In a small saucepan, heat the blueberry preserves over low heat until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once the cheesecake has cooled, spread the warm blueberry preserves over the top, then scatter fresh blueberries evenly over the cheesecake.
Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Gently remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving your low sodium blueberry cheesecake.
