For a creamy, rich texture, always opt for full-fat cream cheese. This gives the cheesecake its smooth and silky consistency.
Bring your cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature before mixing.
Incorporate sour cream into the filling. It adds creaminess and tang, creating a balanced, silky texture.
Mix the batter gently. Overmixing can introduce air bubbles, which could cause cracks or a less smooth texture.
Baking the cheesecake in a water bath helps it cook evenly, preventing the top from cracking and keeping the texture creamy.
After baking, add fresh or lightly cooked blueberries to the top. A blueberry compote made with sugar and lemon juice can add both sweetness and a glossy finish.
Let the cheesecake cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours (or overnight).
