Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup melted Butter or Margarine melted

Blueberries

  • 1 1/2 cups Wild Blueberries
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch

Filling

  • Four 8-ounce packages Cream Cheese
  • 1 1/4 cups granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 5 Eggs

Topping

  • 2 cups White Chocolate shaved
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups Heavy Cream divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475°F.
  • Place a large pan or oven-safe skillet (that the cheesecake pan will fit inside) filled with about 1/2-inch of water into the oven while it preheats. This will be your water bath.

Crust

  • Combine graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon into a medium bowl.
  • Add melted butter or margarine. Mix well.
  • Press the crumb into a 9-inch spring form pan that has been lined on the bottom and side with parchment paper. Use the bottom of a drinking glass to press the crumb mixture flat into the bottom of the pan and about 2/3 the way up the side.
  • Wrap a large piece of foil around the bottom of the pan to keep the cheesecake dry when placed in the water bath in the oven.
  • Put the crust in freezer until the filling is done.

Blueberries

  • Place blueberries in a medium pot. Add 1/4 cup sugar and cornstarch.
  • Place over medium low heat. Cook, stirring, until a thick syrup forms. Remove from heat and set aside.

Filling

  • Use an electric mixer to combine the cream cheese with the sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Mix for a couple minutes or until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl.
  • Add eggs to the cream cheese mixture. Blend just enough to integrate the eggs.
  • Remove prepared crust from freezer.
  • Pour 1/2 of filling mixture into crust.
  • Pour blueberry syrup on top of filing
  • Then pour remaining cream cheese mixture over top.
  • Use a knife to swirl the blueberry syrup without scraping the crust at the bottom.
  • Place prepared water bath in oven and allow to heat before continuing.
  • Place prepared cheesecake in water bath. Bake for 10 minutes at 475°F, then reduce heat to 350°F and bake for 50 minutes to an hour more.
  • Remove from oven and cool on counter.
  • Place in refrigerator until cold.

Topping

  • Place 1 cup white chocolate into a large, heatproof bowl.
  • Whisk egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl.
  • In a medium pan, heat 1/4 cup heavy cream over low heat to a simmer.
  • Very gradually stir it into the egg mixture.
  • Pour back into pan. Simmer and stir until it begins to coat the spoon.
  • Strain through a sieve into the white chocolate. Stir until smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream to form stiff peaks.
  • Fold whipped cream into the chocolate mix in two batches.
  • Place in refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour.
  • When ready to serve, top the cheesecake with the white chocolate mousse.
  • Sprinkle with remaining shaved white chocolate.
