Directions

In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.

In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix until fully combined.

To make the blueberry topping, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the blueberries burst. Allow the topping to cool completely, then spread it over the cheesecake.
