Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF) and prepare a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In the food processor, blend the digestive crackers and granulated sugar until fine crumbs form. Melt your butter and combine it with the crust mixture.
- Press the mixture into the base of the springform pan, ensuring it's evenly packed. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow to cool.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the fresh blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and dark brown sugar for the crumble topping. Combine with melted butter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined after each addition. Pour the filling into the baked crust.
- Spoon the blueberry mixture over the cheesecake filling and sprinkle the crumble topping over the blueberries.
- Prepare a water bath by placing the springform pan in a larger dish filled with hot water. Bake for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes.
- Once baked, turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour.
- After cooling, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy blending. Avoid overmixing the eggs to maintain a light texture. Always use a water bath while baking to avoid cracks.
