Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create the crust.
  3. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sour cream, eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest, mixing well until everything is fully incorporated.
  5. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them apart too much.
  6. Pour this luscious cheesecake batter into the prepared crust and smooth the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  2. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
  3. Remove it and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
