Blueberry Cheesecake

Ingredients

250g digestive biscuit crumbs (use a food processor to whizz them up)
100g unsalted butter
600g full fat soft cheese
125g icing sugar
300ml pot of double cream
2 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping

400g of fresh bluberries
25g icing sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 tbsp lemon juice
25ml water

Method

1. Melt the butter in a large pan and cook until it turns golden brown

2. Add the biscuit crumbs to the pan of butter and stir.

3. Using a 20cm tin (springform is best, so that you can release the cheesecake easily later), tip the biscuit mix into the tin and pack it down using the back of a tablespoon. Place in the fridge whilst you prepare the cheesey bit.

4. Add the icing sugar, vanilla extract and cheese into a bowl and beat to losen and lightly combine. Add the cream, a third at a time, allowing the mixture to thicken as you beat. By the end, the mixture should be thick enough that you need to shake the spoon to release it.

5. Add over the biscuit mixture, and level flat with a knife.

6. For the blueberry topping, add all the topping ingredients into a saucepana and simmer until nice and thick. Cool in the fridge for 1 hour.

7. Slice cheesecake and add blueberry compote to finish off – yum!

      Recipe says 125g icing sugar but method only mentions two tsp (step 4). When does the rest of the 125g get added?

        Hi Rita

        Appologise for this. You would need to add all the icing sugar, not just two tsp. Kind regards, Ashridge
