Crust Preparation
- Pulse graham crackers until fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix with sugar, melted butter, and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a springform pan. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325°F (165°C).
Filling Preparation
- Beat the cream cheese on medium speed for about 1 minute until smooth, then add sugar. Mix for 3 minutes until creamy. Add flour, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until combined. Incorporate eggs one at a time, then gently fold in sour cream and huckleberries.
Bake
- Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust. Place in a water bath and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 90-100 minutes until set but slightly jiggly in the center.
Cooling
- Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door open for about 1 hour. Then, refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
Topping Preparation
- In a saucepan, simmer huckleberries, sugar, and water for 10 minutes. Combine cornstarch with lemon juice to form a slurry; add to the huckleberry mixture to thicken. Cool the topping before pouring it over the chilled cheesecake.
Serving
- Carefully release the cheesecake from the springform pan and pour the cooled huckleberry topping over it just before slicing for the perfect presentation.
