75 g unsalted butter, melted
For the Blueberry Layer:
-
300 g fresh blueberries
-
1 tbsp granulated sugar
-
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
2 tsp lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping:
-
110 g all-purpose flour
-
80 g dark brown sugar
-
70 g unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
-
800 g full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
-
260 g granulated sugar
-
200 g sour cream (18%), room temperature
-
1½ tbsp cornstarch
-
2½ tsp vanilla extract
-
4 large eggs
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
-
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F). Line the bottom of a 23 cm (9-inch) springform pan with parchment paper.
-
In a food processor, blend biscuits and sugar until finely crushed. Add melted butter and process again to combine.
-
Press the crumb mixture into the base and sides of the prepared pan using the bottom of a glass.
-
Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool completely. Keep the oven on.
Step 2: Prepare the Blueberry Layer
-
In a small bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until no dry flour remains. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Crumble Topping
-
In another bowl, mix flour and brown sugar.
-
Add melted butter and stir with a fork until large crumbs form. Set aside.
Step 4: Make the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream cream cheese on low speed for 1 minute.
-
Add sugar gradually and beat until smooth, scraping the sides as needed.
-
In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, cornstarch, and vanilla. Add to cream cheese mixture and mix until combined.
-
Add eggs, two at a time, beating on low speed after each addition until incorporated. Scrape sides and stir one final time.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
-
Pour the cheesecake batter into the cooled crust.
-
Evenly distribute the blueberry mixture on top, followed by the crumble topping.
-
Place the springform pan into a larger baking dish for a water bath. Pour hot water halfway up the sides.
-
Bake for 1 hour 20–30 minutes. Gently shake the pan; the center should still jiggle slightly.
-
Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
-
Remove from oven and cool completely at room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
Notes
Don’t skip the water bath; it’s crucial for a soft, creamy texture.
Letting it chill overnight ensures it sets completely and slices cleanly.
