A silky, rich cheesecake topped with a deep midnight-blue blueberry compote inspired by Ravenclaw pride. The creamy filling balances perfectly with the vibrant, tangy topping for an elegant, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

¼ cup sugar (for crust)

6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

1 cup sugar (for filling)

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 large eggs

1 cup heavy cream

2 cups fresh blueberries

¼ cup water

¼ cup sugar (for topping)

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake crust for 10 minutes, then cool while preparing filling.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add 1 cup sugar and vanilla extract; mix until combined.
  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
  6. Stir in heavy cream until smooth and uniform.
  7. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top.
  8. Bake 50–60 minutes until edges are set but center jiggles slightly. Turn off oven, crack door, and cool 1 hour inside.
  9. Remove and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  10. For topping: Combine blueberries, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened. Add dissolved cornstarch if needed.
  11. Cool the compote completely, then spoon over chilled cheesecake. Chill an additional 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Add lemon zest to the filling for brightness.

Use mixed berries for a twist on flavor.

Swirl compote into batter for a marble effect.

Substitute gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free crust.

Cheesecake can be made a day in advance; flavors deepen with resting.

Freeze individual slices up to 2 months; thaw in fridge overnight.
