Crust:
- 200g digestive biscuits or graham crackers, crushed
- 50g unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 600g cream cheese, room temperature
- 150g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 200g sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Blueberry Topping:
- 200g fresh blueberries
- 50g granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Crumble Topping:
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 80g brown sugar
- 70g unsalted butter, melted
- Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Combine the crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers with melted butter until evenly mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the base of a 9-inch (23 cm) springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes and then allow the crust to cool completely.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Using a mixer, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add granulated sugar, mixing well until fully incorporated. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Fold in sour cream and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Pour this filling over the cooled crust in the springform pan.
- Prepare Blueberry Topping: In a bowl, toss fresh blueberries with granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and lemon juice to coat evenly. Spoon the blueberry mixture gently over the cheesecake filling, spreading it out in an even layer.
- Make Crumble Topping: Mix together the all-purpose flour and brown sugar in a bowl. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms crumbly pieces. Sprinkle this crumble topping evenly over the blueberry layer.
- Bake in Water Bath: Place the prepared springform pan into a larger baking dish filled with hot water to create a water bath. Bake for 70-80 minutes at 325°F (160°C), or until the cheesecake is just set but slightly jiggly in the center. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother cheesecake texture.
- Ensure the pan is well sealed with foil during the water bath to prevent water from leaking into the cheesecake.
- Let the cheesecake chill thoroughly to achieve clean slices when serving.
- Fresh blueberries can be substituted with frozen if fresh are unavailable; thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute gluten-free biscuits and flour.
