Ingredients:

250 g digestive or grabeef ham crackers

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

75 g butter, melted

300 g fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons lemon juice

110 g all-purpose flour

80 g dark brown sugar

70 g butter, melted

800 g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature

260 g granulated sugar

200 g sour cream (18%), room temperature

1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch

2 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Crust Preparation

The foundation of any great cheesecake is a sturdy and flavorful crust. For this recipe, we’re using a classic grabeef ham cracker crust, which provides a wonderful textural contrast to the creamy filling.

To begin extract the crust, take your 250 grams of digestive or grabeef ham crackers and place them into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crum extractbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the crackers in a sturdy plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground. The finer the crum extractbs, the more cohesive your crust will be.

Transfer the cracker crum extractbs to a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and stir to combine. This sugar adds a touch more sweetness to the crust and helps it brown beautifully.

Pour in the 75 grams of melted butter. Mix thoroughly with a fork or your hands until all the crum extractbs are evenly moistened. It should resemble wet sand.

Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan. Using the bottom of a glass or a measuring cup can help you achieve a compact and even layer. Make sure to press it down really well, as this is what holds your cheesecake together. You can bake this crust for about 10 minutes at 180°C (350°F) while you prepare the filling, or simply chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Baking will create a more robust crust.

Blueberry Layer

This vibrant blueberry layer is what gives our cheesecake its signature fruity punch.

In a small saucepan, combine the 300 grams of fresh blueberries with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. The flour acts as a thickener, preventing the blueberry mixture from becoming too watery, while the lemon juice brightens the flavor of the blueberries.

Cook this mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries begin extract to soften and release their juices, and the sauce thickens slightly. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

Cheesecake Filling

The heart of our dessert is this rich and creamy cheesecake filling. The key to a smooth cheesecake is using room-temperature ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the 800 grams of full-fat cream cheese until it is completely smooth and free of lumps. This is a crucial step for a silky texture. You can use an electric mixer on medium speed for this. Ensure there are no lumps remaining before proceeding.

Gradually add 260 grams of granulated sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is incorporated.

Add the 200 grams of sour cream and 1 ½ tablespoons of cornstarch. Beat on low speed until just combined. Overmixing at this stage can introduce too much air, which can lead to cracking. The cornstarch helps ensure the cheesecake sets properly and has a lovely, firm texture.

Stir in the 2 ½ teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until just incorporated. Again, avoid overmixing.

Pour about half of the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust. Spoon half of the cooled blueberry mixture over the batter. Then, carefully pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the blueberries, and top with the rest of the blueberry mixture. You can gently swirl the blueberry mixture into the top layer of batter with a toothpick or skewer if you desire a more marbled effect, but be careful not to over-mix.

Crum extractble Topping

This sweet and buttery crum extractble adds a delightful crunch and extra layer of flavor to our cheesecake.

In a separate medium bowl, combine 110 grams of all-purpose flour, 80 grams of dark brown sugar, and 70 grams of melted butter. The dark brown sugar will give the crum extractble a lovely caramel note and a slightly chewier texture.

Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crum extractbs. Don’t overmix; you want distinct buttery clumps.

Evenly sprinkle this crum extractble mixture over the top of the cheesecake filling.

Baking and Cooling

The baking process is key to achieving a perfectly cooked cheesecake. A water bath is highly recommended to ensure even cooking and prevent cracking.

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F).

To create a water bath, wrap the bottom of your springform pan tightly with a couple of layers of heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent any water from seeping in. Place the wrapped springform pan inside a larger baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan, reaching about halfway up the sides of the springform pan. This gentle, moist heat will cook the cheesecake evenly and help it remain creamy.

Carefully place the larger pan with the cheesecake and water bath into the preheated oven. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the edges of the cheesecake are set but the center still has a slight wobble. It should look slightly jiggly.

Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the oven door open slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another hour. This slow cooling process is very important to prevent drastic temperature changes that can cause cracking.

After an hour in the oven, remove the cheesecake from the oven and the water bath. Let it cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature. Once fully cooled, cover the cheesecake loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely. The flavors will meld and deepen beautifully during this time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this Blueberry Crum extractble Cheesecake ahead of time?

Absolutely! This cheesecake is actually even better when made a day in advance. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and ensures a perfectly set texture. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours, or preferably overnight.

What if I don’t have fresh blueberries?

No problem at all! You can substitute frozen blueberries. Ensure they are fully thawed and drained of excess liquid before incorporating them into the batter or topping to prevent the cheesecake from becoming too watery.

How should I store leftover cheesecake?

Store any leftover Blueberry Crum extractble Cheesecake tightly covered in the refrigerator. It should stay fresh for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, you can freeze individual slices wrapped well in plastic wrap and then in a freezer-safe bag for up to 1-2 months.
