Description

A rich cheesecake studded with blueberries atop a cookie crust. Bring to a barbecue with sweetened mascarpone and berries. So, when’s the next gathering?


Ingredients

Scale

For the bottom

  • 220 gr (8 ounces) biscuits of your choice
  • 100 gr (3.5 ounces) butter

For the filling

  • 600 gr (21 ounces) monchou (philadelphia or another creamcheese is also possible ofcourse)
  • 180 gr (6 ounces) sugar
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 eggs
  • 200 gr (7 ounces) blueberries

For the topping

  • 100 gr (3.5 ounces) mascarpone
  • 1 dl (3.5 ounces) double cream
  • 20 gr (.75 ounces) icing sugar
  • Some extra blue berries for on top

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 150 C
  2. Line the bottom of your caketin with baking paper. Ground the cookies in a machine or – using a rolling pin – smash them into small pieces (good if you need to get rid of some agression)
  3. Put the crumbs in a bowl and melt the butter on a low heat. Add the butter to the crumbs and mix it well. Put into the caketin and with the back of a spoon press it into the tin so it gets compact. (if you use a 18 cm tin don’t use all of the crumbs as it is slightly too much) While you’re working on the rest place the tin in the refrigerator.
  4. Put the monchou in a large bowl with the sugar and whisk it until smooth. Add the eggs one by one and mix in between until smooth and well combined.
  5. Stir the blueberries in with a wooden spoon and pour everything into your baking tin. Put into the preheated oven and leave to bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is firm but still a bit wobbly. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely to roomtemperature. Put in the fridge for setting for at least 2-3 hours afterwards.
  6. For the topping mix the mascarpone and the icing sugar together until smooth. Whisk the cream in another bowl to soft peaks and fold this through the mascarpone
  7. Divide the mixture over the top of your cheesecake and leave to set for a few hours in the fridge.
  8. For serving you can add some blue berries on top
