Ingredients
Method
Blueberry sauce
- In a small bowl make a slurry of cornflour and 1 tbsp of water. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan add blueberries, sugar, and 1 tbsp of water. Cook it on medium-high flame. Occasionally stir and mash with a spatula till the mix comes to a boil.
- Add the cornflour slurry to the mix. Keep mixing and mashing the blueberries.
- Once the mixture comes to a boil switch off the flame and strain the mixture. Keep mashing the blueberries to extract pulp as much as possible. Set aside the sauce to cool down.
Cheesecake base
- Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F.
- Cover the bottom and sides of a 7.5-inch/18cm springform pan with at least 3 layers of aluminium foil. Set aside.
- In a food processor crush digestive biscuits, and almonds. Into this add melted butter and sugar. Mix with a spatula or hands. When pressed together it should hold shape.
- Put this mixture into the prepared pan and with the help of a flat bottom utensil press the biscuit mixture into a compact layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C/300°F for 10 minutes. Let it cool down completely.
Cream cheese filling
- In a heat-proof bowl add white chocolate and heavy cream. Melt the chocolate by using a double boiler or microwave. Let it cool completely after melting.
- In a bowl mix/beat cream cheese and sugar with a whisk or hand mixer till smooth.
- Add the melted chocolate, vanilla extract, and yogurt. Beat till everything is combined.
- Add eggs one at a time while mixing after each addition. Sift in cornflour and combine till just combined.
Assembly and bake
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/320°F.
- Pour half of the batter into the cooled base. Drop spoonfuls of blueberry sauce in a random pattern. Pour the remaining batter. Again drop spoonfuls of blueberry sauce in a random pattern. Swirl with a palette knife to create a marble effect.
- Place the pan in a little deep tray. Carefully pour hot water into the tray filling 2-3 inches.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Cool and serve
- Turn off the oven and crack open the oven door slightly. Let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature, then cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan and garnish the cake with blueberry sauce and white chocolate chips.
Notes
Storage:
- Cover the cheesecake in plastic wrap or aluminium foil then refrigerate for 5-6 days or 2-3 months in the freezer.
