I made this cake and the family loved it. While I love blueberries they don't really care for it so the next time I think I will try strawberries or raspberries for them. If you love blueberries then this cake's for you.

Using fresh picked blueberries is the best! I made this for our work party and it was a absolute hit!

Great tasting ! I liked how some of the blueberries sank into the cheesecake. It made for a great display on the plate. This recipe is good for large groups; since cheescake is filling you only need a small piece. Goes great with coffee !!

This was the first cheesecake I have ever made. Delicious, easy, and beautiful!! Keep an eye on the baking. Mine had to bake for about 90 minutes. But it was worth it! JJ--Iowa
