Blueberry Swirl Cheesecake














INGREDIENTS: 


* 2 (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
* 1/2 cup sugar
* 1/4 tsp vanilla
* 2 eggs
* 1 graham cracker crust (9 inches)
* 21 oz can of blueberry pie filling




HOW TO MAKE: 


In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs and mix. Pour mixture into pie crust. Drop 1/2 cup of the pie filling on top and swirl with a knife. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until middle is almost set. Chill for 2 hours. Top with the rest of the pie filling when served.


So, this is an extremely easy cheesecake to start out with if it's your first experience making a homemade cheesecake. It's a smaller cheesecake so the baking time is shorter and comes out nearly perfectly each time. Just make sure your cream cheese is softened enough before mixing otherwise the batter will be lumpy and the baking won't come out as well. An electric mixer is best to use but you can mix by hand if needed. Enjoy!!
