½ cup powdered sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦
1 cup heavy whipping cream 🍶
1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin
¼ cup water 💧
1 cup fresh blueberries 🫐
2 tablespoons sugar 🍚
For the blueberry mousse topping:
1 cup heavy whipping cream 🍶
1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍚
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 🍦

Instructions:
Prepare the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. 🍪🧈
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool completely. 🔥
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a small bowl, dissolve the unflavored gelatin in the ¼ cup of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. Then, heat it gently in the microwave for about 10 seconds to fully dissolve. 💧
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well incorporated. 🍦🧀
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. 🍶
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then add the dissolved gelatin and mix until smooth. 🧁
Prepare the Blueberry Filling:
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the blueberries have softened and released their juices. Use a spoon to mash them slightly. 🫐🍚
Let the mixture cool, then gently fold it into the cheesecake filling. 🫐🍰
Assemble the Cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling into the cooled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. ❄️
Make the Blueberry Mousse Topping:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. 🧁
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to create a light and fluffy mousse. 🫐
Top the Cheesecake:
Once the cheesecake has set, spread the blueberry mousse on top of the cheesecake. Garnish with extra blueberries and a drizzle of blueberry sauce if desired. 🫐🍰
