Reimagined Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 55 g unsalted butter, melted
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 50 g brown sugar
- 690 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 250 g Greek yogurt
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs
- 300 g blueberries, fresh or frozen (thaw if frozen)
- Sliced almonds for topping
Instructions:
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper, or leave unlined if serving directly from the pan.
- Crumble Topping: Mix flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Add melted butter and stir until well combined. Let it cool to firm up.
- Cheesecake Batter: Cream the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, whisking until creamy.
- Egg Incorporation: Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Assembly: Pour the batter into the pan. Evenly distribute blueberries on top. Break the crumble topping into small pieces and sprinkle over the blueberries, followed by sliced almonds.
- Baking: Bake for 60-70 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
- Cooling and Chilling: Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Note: If the cheesecake batter is lumpy before adding eggs, gently heat over a double boiler or microwave briefly, whisking until smooth.
