In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, 1 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the sour cream until just combined.
Pour half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust. Spoon half of the blueberry mixture over the cream cheese layer. Repeat layers.
