🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️

For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- 1/2 cup blueberry puree (fresh or frozen blueberries blended until smooth)

For the Crust:
- 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs

For the Topping:
- Fresh blueberries
- Whipped cream
- Blueberry sauce (optional)

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳

1. Prepare the Crust:
   - Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
   - In a medium bowl, combine Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter.
   - Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
   - Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
   - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
   - Gradually add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
   - Add eggs one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until just blended.
   - Mix in sour cream and melted white chocolate until smooth and creamy.

3. Create the Swirl:
   - Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust.
   - Drop spoonfuls of blueberry puree onto the filling, then use a knife or skewer to swirl the puree into the filling.
   - Pour the remaining cheesecake filling on top, and repeat the process with the remaining blueberry puree for a beautiful swirl effect.

4. Bake the Cheesecake:
   - Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan, and fill the roasting pan with hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
   - Bake the cheesecake for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
   - Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door slightly open for 1 hour.
   - Remove the cheesecake from the oven and water bath, and let it cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.

5. Add the Topping:
   - Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh blueberries, dollops of whipped cream, and a drizzle of blueberry sauce if desired.
