In a small saucepan, heat blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until juicy.

Let cool slightly before using.
4. Assemble and Bake:
Spoon blueberry sauce over the cheesecake filling.
Use a knife to gently swirl and create a marbled effect.

Turn off oven, crack the door, and let cheesecake rest inside for 15 minutes.
