Blueberry Cheese Cake

Ingredients

Blueberry Sauce

  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tbsp Warm Water
  • 2 cups Blueberries
  • 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar

Crust

  • 2 cups Marie Biscuits
  • 1/3 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter

Cheese Cake

  • 300 ml Heavy Cream
  • 680 g Cream Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Sugar
  • 2 tbsp Confectioner's Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

Blueberry Sauce

  • Whisk the cornstarch, lemon juice, and warm water together in a small bowl until the cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside.
  • Warm the blueberries and sugar together in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir continuously for 3 minutes until the blueberry juices begin to release. Add the cornstarch mixture and continue to stir for another 2-3 minutes, smashing some blueberries as you go.
  • The mixture will start to thicken. Remove from heat and put the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small bowl (to separate the cooked berries and the juice).
  • Keep separated and set both (the cooked berries and the juice) aside.

Crust

  • Stir the graham cracker crust ingredients together. Pour into a 9-inch or 10-inch pan and pack in very tightly. 
  • The tighter it’s packed, the less likely it will fall apart when cutting the cheesecake.
  • Freeze for 10-20 minutes as you prepare the filling.

Filling

  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the cold heavy cream into stiff peaks on medium-high speed, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk or paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together on medium speed until perfectly smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Add the confectioners’ sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. 
  • Beat for 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed until smooth and combined. Make sure there are no large lumps of cream cheese. If there are lumps, keep beating until smooth.
  • Using your mixer on low speed or a rubber spatula, fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake filling until combined. This takes several turns of your rubber spatula. Combine slowly as you don’t want to deflate all the air in the whipped cream.
  • Remove crust from the freezer and spread filling into crust. Use and spatula to smooth down the top.
  • Cover tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours and up to 2 days. For best results, 12 hours is best. I chill mine overnight. The longer refrigerated, the nicer the no-bake cheesecake will set up.
  • Use a knife to loosen the chilled cheesecake from the rim of the springform pan, then remove the rim. Using a clean sharp knife, cut into slices for serving. For neat slices, wipe the knife clean between each slice.
