Cheesecakes are my go-to for quiet reflection and joyful gatherings. This one, in particular, has become a little tradition for me and my sister, we bake it together every spring when blueberries are at their peak. It fills the kitchen with warmth, sweet vanilla, and just the tiniest bit of magic.

And while it’s a great dessert for others, sometimes, it’s okay to make it just for you.
