Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a springform pan by spraying it with non-stick spray and lining it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for about 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.
Beat cream cheese until smooth, gradually adding sugar. Incorporate eggs one at a time, followed by lemon zest, juice, and vanilla until fully blended.
Pour half of the cheesecake mixture over the cooled crust. In another pot, combine half of the blueberries with sugar, water, lemon juice, and cornstarch; cook until thickened. Swirl this mixture into the remaining batter before pouring on top of the first layer.
Bake for about 60 minutes or until edges are set while the center remains slightly jiggly. Cool in the oven with the door ajar for about an hour before refrigerating overnight.
