Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients
- Biscuit8.8 oz
- Butter6 tbsp
- Milk1–2 tbsp
- Cream cheese4 cups
- Sugar1 ¼ cups
- Heavy cream¼ cups
- Vanilla · paste½ tsp
- Egg4
- Sour cream1 cup
- Cornstarch2 ½ tbsp
- Lemon1 tbsp
- Salt
- Blueberry1–2 cups + 1 ¼ cups
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Crush the biscuits into fine crumbs in a food processor or in a bag with a rolling pin. Add the melted butter and mix until combined; if too dry, add 1–2 tablespoons of milk.
- Press the crumbs into the base of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan and bake for 7–8 minutes. Let cool while you make the filling.
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar on medium speed until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each, and avoid overbeating.
- Mix in the vanilla, sour cream, heavy cream, salt, lemon zest and cornstarch until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Wrap the outside of the springform pan in foil. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
- Set the pan in a large roasting tin and pour hot water into the tin halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake for 50–65 minutes, until the edges are set and the centre has a slight wobble.
- Turn off the oven, leave the door closed and let the cheesecake rest inside for 1 hour.
- Take it out and cool at room temperature for another hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Topping: in a small saucepan, mix the sugar and cornstarch, then add the blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice and water.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5–7 minutes until thickened and the blueberries soften. Let cool slightly, then spread over the chilled cheesecake.
