BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE - CASS'S

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Make Crust: Mix all together in a bowl. Pour into a 9 inch spring form pan. I use my fingers first; spreading out crumbs, making sure there will be an even amount for the bottom and spreading excess towards the edges of pan. I then use a measuring cup to pat down on bottom first, them crumbs pushed towards edges are pressed evenly against the sides. It's now ready to bake.
• 2. Bake in preheated oven for 5 - 8 minutes or until top of edges starts lightly browning. Set aside to cool, while making filling. Lower oven temperature to 325 degree F.
• 3. In my kitchen aid stand mixer I cream the cream cheese and sugar, about 2 minutes, on medium speed.
• 4. Now, add flour and salt, mix another minute, or until blended well. Scrape down sides and bottom to get all of the cream cheese incorporated.
• 5. I change my beater to the whisk attachment, you don't have to, I just like how it whips the filling nice and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. (on medium to med high speed.) Make sure to scrape down sides and bottom with a spatula. Now, blend in the sour cream, vanilla and zest, until well incorporated.
• 6. Carefully fold in the blueberries.
• 7. Pour evenly into the crust, smooth top and place on a sheet pan, then in a 325 Degree oven for about 50 minutes. The center should still be a bit jiggly. Open oven door and turn off oven. Let the cake remain for another 20 minutes.
• 8. Remove and continue to cool on counter. After cool, refrigerate for up 5 - 6 hours. If using glaze you can make it now, and then chill, until ready to serve. I sometimes decorate the edges of cake with fresh whipped cream.
• 9. Glaze: Place the blueberries in a small saucepan. In a small bowl mix together the sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the blueberries, add water and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and becomes clear. Stir in lemon zest and set aside to cool.
• 10. When ready to cut cheesecake, spoon over individual pieces or cover the cheesecake with this delicious glaze. Enjoy!

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 160°C/320°F (140°C fan). Place shelf in middle of oven.
• Line inverted base: Get a 20cm/8" springform cake tin. Turn the base UPSIDE DOWN (Note 4), butter lightly then press on a square piece of parchment/baking paper. Then clip into the springform pan - excess paper will stick out, see photos in post and video.
• Line sides: Butter and line the side of the pan.
• Break up biscuits roughly by hand and place in a food processor.
• Blitz until fine crumbs. Add butter, briefly blitz until dispersed and it resembles wet sand.(Note 5)
• Pour into the prepared cake tin. Use a spatula to roughly spread it out over the base and up the walls.
• Use something with a flat base and vertical edges (I use a measuring cup) to press the crumbs up the wall almost to the top of the sides, and flatten the base.
• Cream cheese: Use a stand mixer (with paddle) or handheld beater to beat the cream cheese until just smooth, no longer than 20 seconds on speed 4. (You do not want to aerate cheesecake filling too much as it causes cracks when it bakes)
• Add flour, beat for 5 seconds on speed 4 until just incorporated.
• Add vanilla, sour cream, sugar and lemon zest. Beat until just combined (10 sec max, speed 4).
• Eggs: Add eggs one at a time - beat for 5 seconds on speed 4 in between each. After the last egg, beat as needed until batter is smooth - but stop beating immediately once smooth.
• Blueberries: Stir in blueberries with a rubber spatula. Pour into prepared crust.
• Bake: Bake for 70 minutes. The top should be a bit puffed, very light golden brown, not cracked, and near perfectly flat. It should jiggle slightly when you gently shake the pan, see video at 1 min 23 sec (sets in next step).
• Cool: Cool the cake in the oven with the door open approx 20 cm / 8" for about 2 hours (Note 6), then refrigerate for 4 hours+ in the pan or overnight. Cake will sink and surface should be flat.
• Release: Remove sides of springform pan. Use overhang paper to slide cheesecake off the cake pan base. Then slide the cheesecake off the paper.
• Place 1 cup of blueberries (125g/4oz), vanilla, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan. Stir then bring to simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 7 minutes until blueberries breakdown.
• Mix cornflour and water, then stir in - it wil thicken quickly.
• Stir in remainig blueberries. Sauce should be syrupy - remove from stove and cool. Will thicken as it cools.
• Once cool, stir. Adjust thickness 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time to make it the perfect "oozing" consistency (see video, Note 7) - be careful, don't make it runny!
• Spoon onto cheesecake so it's completely covered - you'll have maybe 1/2 cup sauce left, good for touch ups. Refrigerate 2 hours+.
• Slice and serve!
