Prepare the Blueberry Topping
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of blueberries, 1 cup of sugar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before spreading on the cheesecake.
Make the Crust
- Crush 1 ½ cups of Maria cookies into fine crumbs. Combine crumbs with ½ cup of melted butter.
- Press the mixture into the base of a springform pan and refrigerate.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- Beat 24 ounces of softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk, sour cream, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
- Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the Eggs
- Gently fold in 3 eggs one at a time, mixing just until combined.
Bake the Cheesecake
- Pour the filling over the chilled crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 45–55 minutes.
- Cool completely inside the oven.
Chill the Cheesecake
- Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Add the Blueberry Topping

Notes
Ensure cream cheese is softened and avoid overmixing eggs to prevent cracks. Chill for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld.
