Notes

To prevent cheesecakes from cracking, there are several techniques you can try. Some people prefer to use cornstarch as a stabilizer in cheesecakes instead of flour because cornstarch is lighter and less likely to affect the texture. Cornstarch can help bind the ingredients together and reduce the chances of cracking. Other methods to prevent cracking include:

Avoid overmixing the batter, as this could introduce too much air and lead to cracking.
Bake the cheesecake in a water bath or place a pan of water on the rack beneath the cheesecake to add moisture to the oven and prevent cracking.
Do not overbake the cheesecake. The center should be slightly jiggly when you take it out of the oven; it will continue to set as it cools.
Let the cheesecake cool gradually by turning the oven off and cracking the door open slightly before removing it.
Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow it to fully set and firm up.

By following these tips and possibly using cornstarch as a flour alternative, you can help prevent cracking in your Blueberry Ricotta Cheesecake.
