Ingredients

For the blueberry wwirl:

1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
3 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 ounces cream cheese
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup plain greek yogurt
2 large eggs

Instructions

Make the blueberry swirl:

In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar. Simmer while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes, until the blueberries fall apart and a syrup forms.
Strain the sauce, and allow it to chill in the refrigerator before using.

Fro the crust:

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well combined. It should have the texture of wet sand.
Firmly press into an even flat layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
Bake for 5 minutes and set aside to cool.

Make the cheesecake filling:

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, and sugar with a hand mixer until creamy and smooth.
Add the vanilla extract and greek yogurt, mix until completely combined.
Add the eggs and mix just until combined.

Assemble and bake:

Pour half of the cheesecake batter onto the crust and smooth into an even layer.
Drizzle half of the blueberry syrup over the batter.
Pour the remaining cheesecake batter on top.
Drizzle the remaining syrup over the batter and swirl with a knife or toothpick.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is still slightly jiggly and not cracked.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool at room temperature.
Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before cutting and serving.
Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
