  • 20 g icing sugar
  • 30 g butter

Biscuit Base

  • 70 g digestive biscuits
  • 30 g butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 250 g cream cheese softened
  • 50 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g yogurt
  • 2 eggs
  • 100 g heavy cream
  • 15 g cornstarch
  • 100-150 g blueberries adjust to taste

Instructions

Make the Crumble Topping

  • In a bowl, mix 30g low-gluten flour, 30g almond flour, and 20g icing sugar until combined.
  • Cut 30g butter into small pieces and rub it into the dry ingredients using your fingers until crumbly. Set aside.

Prepare the Biscuit Base

  • Crush 70g digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
  • Melt 30g butter over a double boiler and mix with the crushed biscuits until evenly coated.
  • Press the biscuit mixture firmly into a 6-inch cake pan lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator.

Make the Cheesecake Batter

  • Soften 250g cream cheese at room temperature and mix with 50g granulated sugar until smooth.
  • Add 100g yogurt and mix until fully combined.
  • Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
  • Mix in 100g heavy cream.
  • Gently fold in 15g cornstarch using a cutting-and-folding motion until the batter is smooth.

Assemble the Cheesecake

  • Pour half of the cheesecake batter over the chilled biscuit base and smooth the surface with a spatula.
  • Sprinkle blueberries evenly over the batter. Adjust the amount based on personal preference.
  • Pour the remaining cheesecake batter over the blueberries and smooth the surface.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the surface, followed by a layer of blueberries.

Bake the Cheesecake

  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F).
  • Bake the assembled cake on the middle rack for 50 minutes. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  • Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cheesecake is done.

Cool and Chill

  • Cool the cake on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Let it cool completely on the rack.
  • Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for the best flavor and texture.
