Something went terribly wrong here. Recipe was made as directed. The crust was delicious, the blueberry topping was okay, but the middle wasn't very good. The texture was not that of a "New York style" cheesecake that I am familiar with. I am thinking that the 40 minutes of baking time were not enough. My oven (according to the thermometer) was at temp., and the eggs and cream cheese were both allowed to come to room temperature before using, so I'm not sure exactly what happened. I will most likely try this recipe again to see if the results are different.

WOW. This was unbelievable...one of those recipes that you wish you could give more stars to. The crust was fantastic, the texture of the cheesecake was much like a New York cheesecake, and the blueberries were perfect, not too sweet. I was worried when I saw how big it was, but since I tasted it, I know none will go to waste. Thanks for sharing this incredible recipe! I will use this one for years to come!
