Open in Pepper →Cream cheese and blueberries do something good together — tangy, sweet, a little jammy. You don't need a special occasion to make it, and you don't need a springform pan either.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when they want cheesecake flavor without babying a whole cheesecake in a water bath, or when the church potluck is Sunday and they want something people will ask about.
Every recipe here leans on that same pairing: Blueberry cheesecake crumb, Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls for a fast morning, Blueberry Cheesecake Cookies, Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake for company, and a Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal Bake you can slice for breakfast all week.
Soften the cream cheese
Let two 8-ounce blocks sit out 45 minutes before mixing. Cold cream cheese leaves lumps you can't beat out later.
Toss berries in flour
Coat 1 to 2 cups of blueberries in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in so they don't sink to the bottom.
Don't overbeat the filling
Mix just until smooth, about 2 minutes on medium. Too much air makes a cheesecake puff up and crack as it cools.
Chill before slicing
Give a full cheesecake at least 4 hours in the fridge, overnight if you can, and wipe the knife between cuts.
