Ingredients
  

Blueberry Swirl

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water

Crust

  • 1 ¼ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 Tablespoons butter melted

Filling

  • 24 oz. cream cheese room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 eggs

Blueberry whipped cream

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons blueberry puree

Instructions

Blueberry Swirl:

  • Add blueberries, sugar, and 3 tablespoons water to a small saucepan and heat over med-high head until the berries soften and start to bust.
  • Add the cornstarch slurry and whisk until the mixture thickens.
  • Once thickened, remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Pour the berry mixture into a food processor and puree. You can stop at this step or you can run the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and remove any seeds.

Crust

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees/F.
  • Add graham crackers to a food processor until you get about 1 ¼ cups of crumbs. Add in the melted butter and pulse until combined.
  • Pour into the bottom of a greased 7″ springform pan and use your hand or the back of a spoon to press and form a crust bringing the crumbs up about 1 inch on the sides.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until golden. Remove and cool on a wire rack.

Filling

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) with a paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese for 3-4 minutes or until completely smooth and there are no lumps.
  • Slowly pour in the sugar and flour. Mix until just combined.
  • Add vanilla and heavy cream. Mix on low speed until combined. Slowly increase the speed to high for about 1 minute,
  • Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and make sure there are no lumps. Give one final mix before adding the eggs.
  • Add the eggs one at a time and mix just until the yolk disappears into the batter.
  • Pour 1/3 of the batter into the prepared crust and gently tap the bottom of the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of the blueberry puree over the filling and use a toothpick to swirl. Repeat with three more layers.
  • Cover the pan completely with aluminum foil. Add one cup of water into the inner pot of your Instant Pot and add in the trivet,
  • Place the cheesecake on top of the trivet and set your pot to high pressure for 50 minutes and allow to naturally release for 10 minutes.
  • Once you can open the pot, remove the aluminum foil and allow the cheesecake to cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
  • Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator to set for at least 6 hours but overnight is recommended.

Blueberry Whipped Cream

  • Add the cold heavy whipping cream into the bowl of a stand mixer equipped with a whisk attachment.
  • Add the powdered sugar and start mixing on a low speed until combined.
  • Add the blueberry puree and mix on low speed until combined, then slowly increase speed to high until stiff peaks form. About 4 or 5 minutes.
  • Add the whipped cream to a piping bag with a large star tip and pipe the whipped cream around the top of the cheesecake. Top with fresh blueberries if desired.
  • Serve and enjoy!
  • Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
