Toss blueberries and sugar together in a small pot. Put the lid on and cook on low for about 10 minutes. Let it cool down, then pop it in the fridge for 1-2 hours to firm up.

Set your oven to 350°F. Mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into a greased 9x13 pan.

Blend cream cheese and sugar until the texture is silky smooth. Add the eggs one at a time while mixing, then stir in the vanilla. Pour it evenly over the crust.

Make two thick stripes of the chilled blueberry sauce lengthwise across the pan. Use a skewer or chopstick to swirl it gently, being careful not to disturb the crust layer.

Bake it for 40-45 minutes or until the middle has firmed up. Let it chill completely before cutting it into squares.
