### How to Make It
1. **Prepare the Crust**: Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter and sugar, press into a springform pan, and bake until golden and set.
2. **Mix the Filling**: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add sugar, eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Pour over the cooled crust.
3. **Bake with Care**: Bake the cheesecake low and slow in a water bath for the best creamy texture. Chill thoroughly—overnight if possible.
4. **Make the Blueberry Topping**: Simmer fresh blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and a bit of cornstarch until thick and glossy. Cool completely.
5. **Assemble and Serve**: Spread the blueberry topping over the chilled cheesecake. Garnish with a few extra fresh berries or mint leaves if desired.
