Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 ½ cups (126 g) graham cracker crumbs, about 10-12 crushed graham cracker sheets
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar

Filling

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice*, about 1 large lemon, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups (296 g) fresh blueberries

Crumble Topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9×9-inch baking dish with parchment paper, including up the sides.

Crust

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Mix until it resembles wet sand. Press into the lined baking dish.

Filling

  • In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, eggs, sugar, lemon juice*, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crust.
  • Evenly top with blueberries.

Crumble Topping

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, and salt. Stir in melted butter until a wet, crumbly dough forms.
  • Sprinkle small crumbles of topping evenly over the blueberries.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the topping is golden brown.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely, about an hour. Once cooled, transfer the baking dish to the refrigerator and chill for an additional hour before serving.
  • Serve chilled.

Notes

*In addition to the lemon juice, add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the filling if you prefer a more pronounced lemon flavor.
