Okay, so it’s not really a blueberry cheesecake but I didn’t know what else to call it J. It does have some delicious blueberry pie filling on it though. This is the cheesecake that I made this year for Thanksgiving. After all, what could be better for Thanksgiving dessert than a cheesecake? It was so good and it absolutely got devoured in no time. The highlight of this cheesecake is the crust. The crust is a combination of vanilla wafers and 3 different types of nuts – almonds, walnuts, and pecans. A great way to make the crush is to crush all of the ingredients with a rolling pin. I feel the addition of lemon juice in the filling makes a huge difference in the overall flavor, and a little vanilla doesn’t hurt either. If you are looking for a delicious cheesecake recipe give this one a try. You won’t be disappointed. Enjoy.

Kents GF- Hi :) I would say it should be refigerated for at least 6 hours. The idea here is to get the cheesecake to become firm.
Also, with the oven, you turn it off. This is so the cheesecake finishes cooking in the center or else it might drop a bit. I hope this helps!

Oops, one more thing I forgot, when you say to leave it in the oven for an hour do I leave the oven on or turn it off, thanks!
