#### **Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling**
– In a large mixing bowl, beat the **cream cheese** until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Make sure there are no lumps.
– Add the **powdered sugar** and **vanilla extract** and continue mixing until smooth and fluffy.
– In a separate bowl, whip the **heavy cream** until stiff peaks form (you can do this with a hand mixer or whisk). Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.
– Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the **sour cream** and mix until fully combined.
– Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and smooth it out with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set.
#### **Step 3: Prepare the Fresh Blueberry Topping**
– In a saucepan, combine the **blueberries**, **sugar**, and **lemon juice** over medium heat.
– Stir occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the blueberries begin to break down and release their juices.
– If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk in the **cornstarch** dissolved in a tablespoon of water. Stir until the mixture thickens, then remove it from the heat and let it cool completely.
– Once cooled, pour the blueberry topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake. You can spread it out with a spoon or just leave it in a natural pattern for a more rustic look.
#### **Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!**
– Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice it, and serve chilled. Garnish with extra **fresh blueberries** if desired.
