Blueberry Cheesecake

The highlight of this cheesecake is the crust. The crust is a combination of vanilla wafers and 3 different types of nuts – almonds, walnuts and pecans. A great way to make the crush is to crush all of the ingredients with a rolling pin.the addition of lemon juice in the filling makes a huge difference in the overall flavor, and a little vanilla doesn’t hurt either.
