Recipe: Ingredients for the Crust:

  • 90g butter
  • 70g sugar
  • 1 egg
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 230g (about 1 cup plus a bit more) flour

Ingredients for the Filling:

  • 750g quark (or cream cheese)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet vanilla pudding mix
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup cream
  • 150 ml milk (about 1.5 cups)
  • 170g cream cheese
  • 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 300g blueberries for topping

Instructions:

  1. Knead the crust ingredients together. Line a 28cm cake pan with parchment paper and grease the sides. Press the dough into the pan and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. Mix all filling ingredients until smooth. Pour over the crust in the pan. Arrange the blueberries on top, ensuring they are not wet.
  3. Wrap the edges of the pan with parchment paper. Place a bowl of water in the oven to prevent the top from cracking.
  4. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C (no fan) for 65 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave the cake inside with the door slightly open for 30 minutes. This helps the center cook without collapsing.
  5. Allow the cheesecake to cool for 4-5 hours.

Serve this berrylicious Blueberry Cheesecake and watch as it becomes the star of your dessert table!
