Cheesecake made easy
Dont let the number of steps you see visualised below daunt you.
Ive written the instructions out carefully, youve got step photos AND an instructional recipe video.
And unlike cakes, you dont need to worry about sinking and collapsing.
So even a cheesecake that doesnt go quite to plan is still going to be very, very good!

The biscuit crust Im a cheesecake crust tragic.
I just love the texture contrast of the sweet crunchy crust with that insanely creamy filling.
So my cheesecake crusts go up the sides, rather than just being on the base.
Everybody thinks cheesecake biscuit walls are really fragile but they are actually rather sturdy once the cake is cooled.
I dont have fairy fingers and Ive never destroyed one!
Blueberry cheesecake filling
Heres what goes in the cheesecake filling.
Standardbaked cheesecakeingredients, with the addition of blueberries.
Cream cheese must use block, not the spreadable cream cheese in tubs (too soft).
);
Sour cream lightens up the mixture a touch so its not ridiculously rich.
Just 1/2 cup makes such a difference!
TIP:Only mix until each ingredient is incorporated and the batter is smooth.
No need to beat to aerate the batter.
You dont need to fuss with a water bath to prevent surface cracks.
Why cool cheesecake in the oven?
The gradual drop in temperature creates an environment such that the cheesecake finishes cooking but cannot overcook.
Then stir in cornflour/cornstarch to thicken, and lastly stir in whole blueberries.
Word of warning: this blueberry sauce stains!
The pictured wooden spoon is now permanently purple!
Blueberry Cheesecake FAQ
Why did my cheesecake crack?
Cracks occur because the cheesecake rises too much.
This can happen because filling that was beaten for too long so it aerated too much, or overcooking.
So how do I ensure my cheesecake wont crack on the surface?
Do I need to use a water bath to bake cheesecakes?
My cheesecake fell apart when I removed it from the cake pan!
I feel your pain that was the disaster that occurred to me with my very first cheesecake!
Similarly with the paper, grab the overhang then push the cheesecake off the paper.
That doesnt matter because it sinks back down to a level surface once it cools in the oven.
Blueberry sauce optional!
I know Ive been going on and on about how great the blueberry sauce is.
Nobody has ever complained.
