1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted

For the Blueberry Swirl:

1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries

1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (optional, for thickening)

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened

8 oz (225 g) white chocolate, chopped

3/4 cup (180 ml) heavy cream

1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 large eggs, at room temperature

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Prepare the Crust:

Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).

Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and cinnamon (if using). Stir in melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Press the mixture into a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes and let it cool.

Prepare the Blueberry Swirl:

Combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer until the blueberries release their juices.

For a thicker consistency, add the cornstarch mixture and simmer for 2-3 more minutes.

Let the mixture cool slightly. Blend or mash for a smoother texture if desired.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave, stirring until smooth. Let it cool.

Beat cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Mix in melted white chocolate and vanilla.

Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour until fully combined.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust.

Spoon dollops of the blueberry mixture on top, then swirl with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.

Bake the Cheesecake:

Bake at 325°F for 55-65 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.

Turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour.

Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
