Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF) and line the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, crush the digestive or graham crackers with granulated sugar until fine, then mix in melted butter until combined. Press this mixture into the prepared pan and bake for about 10 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, toss fresh blueberries with sugar, flour, and lemon juice. In another bowl, combine flour, dark brown sugar, and melted butter to create the crumble topping.
  4. Beat together full-fat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in sour cream and cornstarch, then add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time.
  5. Pour the cheesecake batter over the baked crust, layer with the blueberry mixture, and top with crumble.
  6. Place the springform pan in a larger roasting pan filled with hot water and bake for 1 hour and 20–30 minutes.
  7. Allow the cheesecake to cool slowly in the oven with the door slightly cracked for about 1 hour, then chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours.
