Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 9-inch springform pan.
In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until fully combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of your springform pan to create an even layer.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until set, then let it cool while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add sour cream and vanilla extract; mix until well incorporated.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook while stirring occasionally until blueberries break down and release their juices.
Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; stir into the blueberry mixture. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened; remove from heat and let cool.
Pour the cheesecake batter over your cooled crust and smooth out the top with a rubber spatula.
Spoon dollops of blueberry swirl over the batter; use a skewer or knife to create whimsical swirls throughout.
Bake for 50-60 minutes until slightly jiggly but set in the center.
Turn off your oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool for about an hour. Transfer it to the fridge; chill for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Once chilled, dust with edible silver glitter or sprinkles and slice into pieces to serve.
