Blueberry Cheesecake

 

Sorry that the pictures are blur coz I didn't like flash light but my hand was not steady enough. The cake was a bit loose and not looking good after I cut off the edge of the aluminium container... I was to use jelly to stick the blueberries on top so that they are not running around... -__-" and I was to make some decorations with cream. But last night, I was too lazy. I'll try to make a better one next time with a reusable cake pan instead.

But the taste was fantastic you know... =)

It's easy to make. I follow this recipe which actually is of a larger serving size in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan instead of a 9" cake pan. The original recipe is with strawberry instead of blueberry. So, I amend the recipe a bit as follows.

Blueberry New York-Style Sour Cream-Topped Cheesecake

 

Prep Time:

15 min

 

Total Time:

5 hr 5 min

 

Makes:

16 servings, one piece each

1-1/2 cups McVitie's Digestive Biscuits, shattered into crumbs

1/4 cup  (1/2 stick) butter, melted

1-1/4 cups sugar, divided

4 pkg.  (8 oz. each) Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

2 tsp. vanilla, divided

1 container  (16 oz.) Horizon Sour Cream, divided

4 eggs

2 boxes blueberry

 

PREHEAT oven to 325°F. (In fact, the highest I could get from my oven is just 250°F) Line 13x9-inch baking pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides of pan. Mix crumbs, butter and 2 Tbsp. of the sugar; press firmly onto bottom of prepared pan.

 

BEAT cream cheese, 1 cup of the remaining sugar and 1 tsp. of the vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add 1 cup of the sour cream; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating on low speed after each addition just until blended. Pour over crust.

 

BAKE 40 min. or until center is almost set. Mix remaining sour cream, 2 Tbsp. sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla until well blended; carefully spread over cheesecake. Bake an additional 10 min. Cool. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Lift cheesecake from pan, using foil handles. Top with blueberry just before serving.
