Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 250 g Digestive or Graham Crackers Base of the crust; can substitute with any similar cookie or gluten-free options.
  • 3 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Sweetener for the crust and blueberry mix; brown sugar can add depth.
  • 145 g Butter Adds moisture and richness; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
For the Blueberry Filling
  • 300 g Fresh Blueberries Main fruit flavor and natural sweetness; can replace with other berries or fruits like peaches or pears.
  • 121 g All-Purpose Flour Stabilizes the blueberry mixture; gluten-free flour can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice Brightens the flavor of the blueberries; lime juice can be used as a substitute.
For the Crumble Topping
  • 80 g Dark Brown Sugar Provides sweetness and moisture in the crumble; light brown sugar can be a good alternative.
  • 60 g All-Purpose Flour Essential for the crumble; ensure it's well combined with sugar and butter.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 800 g Full Fat Cream Cheese The rich base for the cheesecake; Greek yogurt can replace some for a lighter texture.
  • 200 g Sour Cream Adds tang and creaminess; substitute with full-fat yogurt if desired.
  • 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch Aids in thickening the filling; essential for structure and cannot be substituted.
  • 2.5 teaspoons Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor; pure vanilla is preferred.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 160ºC (325ºF). In a food processor, blend 250 g of digestive biscuits with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar until you achieve a fine, sand-like consistency. Pour in 145 g of melted butter, mixing until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden and fragrant, then remove and allow to cool.
  2. While the crust is cooling, toss 300 g of fresh blueberries in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice until coated. For the crumble, combine 80 g of dark brown sugar, 60 g of flour, and 65 g of melted butter in another bowl. Mix until crumbly. Set both the blueberry mixture and crumble aside for later use.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, blend 800 g of full-fat cream cheese with 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Slowly add 200 g of sour cream combined with 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch, along with 2.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Finally, mix in 4 large eggs one at a time, ensuring the mixture is just combined for a creamy cheesecake texture.
  4. Pour the silky cheesecake filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly. Scatter the blueberry mixture over the top, followed by the crumble topping. To prevent cracks, place the springform pan in a larger baking dish filled with hot water. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes, until the edges are set while the center remains slightly wobbly.
  5. Once the baking time is up, turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour. Afterward, remove the cheesecake from the oven and cool it at room temperature for another hour. For the best flavor and texture, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 6 hours, or ideally overnight, before slicing and serving your delicious Blueberry Crumble Cheesecake.
