What you’ll need
- 75g melted butter (extra for greasing)
- 200g digestive biscuits
- 175g blueberries
- 450g cream cheese (soft cheese)
- 150g caster sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs (beaten lightly)
- icing sugar to dust
How to create the perfect summer recipe
Step one:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, 160 degrees fan. Grease the base and sides of a 23cm cake tin to ensure you are prepared to make this amazing summer recipe.
Step two:
Crush the biscuits until the mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs (you can use a rolling pin or blender to do this). Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and press into the cake tin. Spread the blueberries over the biscuit base and refrigerate until needed.
Step three:
Beat the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Take the base with the blueberries out of the fridge. Pour the mixture on top of the blueberries and bake in the oven for 40 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and only wobbles slightly.
Step four:
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. After this, run a knife around the edge to loosen it from the tin. Carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin.
Step five:
Put the baked blueberry cheesecake onto a serving plate and sprinkle some blueberries and icing sugar on the top.
Step six:
Cut the baked blueberry cheesecake into slices and eat at room temperature.
