Ingredients:
- For the Base:
- Digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- For the Filling:
- 1 kg of high-quality cream cheese
- 4 whole eggs
- 3/4 cup of sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1.5 tablespoons of potato starch
- 200-300g of blueberries, blended and strained
- For the Topping:
- 1 bar of white chocolate
- 4-5 tablespoons of 30% heavy cream
Recipe:
Preparation:
- Crust: Line a 22-24 cm springform pan with damp parchment paper. Arrange a layer of digestive biscuits or graham crackers at the bottom.
- Blueberry Puree: Blend about 200-300g of blueberries until smooth. Strain to remove the skins for a smooth puree.
- Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs with 3/4 cup of sugar until fluffy. Add 1 kg of cream cheese and mix until smooth. Gradually incorporate 1.5 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1.5 tablespoons of potato starch. Mix well before adding the blueberry puree, combining everything thoroughly.
- Pour the filling over the prepared crust in the springform pan.
- Bake at 150°C (302°F) for approximately 1.5 hours. The lower temperature ensures the cheesecake cooks slowly, remaining creamy without rising or sinking.
- Allow the cheesecake to cool gradually in the oven, then outside, and finally, chill it in the refrigerator overnight for the best texture and flavor.
Topping:
Melt a bar of white chocolate in a double boiler, then mix with 4-5 tablespoons of heavy cream for a smooth, pourable ganache. Spread over the cooled cheesecake.
Enjoy this summer-inspired blueberry cheesecake, where each slice offers a creamy, dreamy taste of leisure and luxury.
