Instructions
Watch how to make this recipe.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Grease the bottom of a 9 by 9-inch baking pan with butter. Then place parchment paper over the top, pressing down at the corners. In a food processor, process the sugar, cinnamon and graham crackers until you have the texture of bread crumbs.
Add the melted butter and pulse a couple of times to fully incorporate.
Pour into the lined baking pan and gently pat down with the base of a glass.
Bake in the oven for 12 minutes until golden. When done set aside to cool.
Add cream cheese, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and sugar to the food processor and mix until well combined. It should have a smooth consistency.
Pour onto the cooled base and then cover with blueberries. They will sink slightly but should still be half exposed -- as the cake bakes they will sink a little more and break down.
Bake in the oven for 35 minutes or until the center only slightly jiggles.
Remove from the oven and cool completely before refrigerating for at least 3 hours. Once set, remove from pan using the parchment lining and slice into 10 rectangular bars. Dust with powdered sugar.
Recommended wine: Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, Sauternes
Late Harvest Riesling, Lambrusco Dolce, and Sauternes are my top picks for Cheesecake. White dessert wines are a safe pick for cheesecake (without chocolate), but a sweet lambrusco will be so good with classic strawberry cheesecake. The Snake River Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
