Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a springform pan with parchment paper.
- Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice; blend until combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition. Stir in sour cream and vanilla until just blended.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly. Cool in the oven with the door cracked for 1 hour.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- For the topping, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Simmer until thickened, about 5–8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
- Spoon blueberry topping over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with whipped cream and lemon slices.

Notes
