3. With a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese and 8 tbsp (½ cup) sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs, sour cream, flour, vanilla, and salt until combined. Pour over cookie crust. Place pan into slow cooker.
4. Arrange 3 layers of paper towels over slow cooker bowl and secure with lid. Cook on high 2 hours. Turn heat off and let stand 1 hour.
5. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with the lemon juice and remaining 2 tbsp sugar. With fork, mash some of berries. Remove cheesecake from slow cooker and refrigerate at least 1 hour. To serve, remove foil and side of pan. Top with blueberry mixture.
