Easy to make and it tastes wonderful. The cheesecake can be made ahead and actually tastes better as the flavors have time to blend and the filling will be well set. Ingredients:
9 whole graham crackers |
1/2 cup old fashioned oats |
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup water |
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin |
12 ounces cream cheese, room temperature |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
3 cups fresh blueberries |
1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream |
1 tablespoon sugar |
2 pints blueberries |
2/3 cup blueberry jam |

1. For Crust: Preheat oven to 350ยบ. Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until graham crackers are finely ground. Add butter and vanilla; process until moist crumbs form.
2. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of 9-inch-diameter springform pan.
3. Bake crust until deep golden brown, about 12 minutes. Cool.
4. For Filling: Pour 1/4 cup water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir over very low heat just until gelatin dissolves. Set aside.
5. Blend cream cheese, cream, sugar, and lemon juice in processor until smooth. Add berries; puree until smooth (some blueberry bits will remain).

7. Pour filling into crust. Cover; chill overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
