The Ultimate Blueberry Cheesecake is full of sweet, juicy blueberries in every creamy bite!
My Mother loves blueberry desserts. Any time I can do something special for her, well, I do. She’s my Mom, she’s always done whatever I’ve asked from sewing for me, helping paint my house, baby sitting my kids, dog sitting my puppy, making my favorite dessert. The list could go on and on.
Ultimate Blueberry Cheesecake
I made a lot of different flavors of cheesecake before but not blueberry. It received rave reviews! Cheesecake is not a dessert you can whip up in 30 minutes and have sitting before your guests. They are not difficult, but it does reguire a slow cooking process to prevent the cheesecake from cracking.
It’s decadent and sinfully delicious! And totally worth every second it takes to make it!

Does the water bath have to be in a cake pan? Or, could you just use a cassorle dish?
Paula says
