Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Line the base of a 20 cm springform pan with parchment paper and lightly grease the sides.
- Crush the digestive biscuits in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Melt 100 g unsalted butter, pour it into the biscuit crumbs, and mix until well combined.
- Press the mixture firmly into the base of your prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a small saucepan, combine 200 g fresh blueberries, 50 g granulated sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp cornstarch stirred with a little water. Cook over medium heat until thickened, then remove from heat and let cool.
Filling Preparation
- In a bowl, beat 600 g cream cheese with 150 g granulated sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract and 100 g sour cream until the batter is creamy.
Crumble Topping
- In another bowl, combine 50 g flour, 50 g oats, 50 g light brown sugar, and 50 g cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces. Rub together until coarse crumbs form.
Assembly and Baking
- Pour half of the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spoon half of the blueberry mixture over it, and gently swirl with a knife.
- Sprinkle half of the crumble topping over the swirled layer, repeat with the remaining filling, blueberry mixture, and crumble.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes until the edges are set but the center still has a slight wobble.
- Turn off the oven, leave the cheesecake inside with the door ajar for 1 hour, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
Notes
Allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven to prevent cracks. Can be served with whipped cream and extra blueberries.
