    Blueberry Cheesecake

    This is my favourite cheesecake ever, Blueberry, and it's no bake. I'll give you the original version, but I tend to tweek it a little bit. It has a yummy 'jelly' layer on top.

    Blueberry Cheesecake

    1 x 420gm can blueberries, drained, juice reserved
    250gm plain sweet biscuits, crushed
    125gm melted butter
    1tsp nutmeg
    4tsp gelatine, dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water, and allowed to cool
    300gm cream cheese
    1/4cup sugar
    1tbs lemon juice
    150gm sour cream

    Mix together crushed biscuits, butter and nutmeg (sometimes I find I need more melted butter to make it stay together will). Press into a spring form tin. Cool in the freezer.
    Mix together cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and sour cream. Add 3/4 of the gelatine and water mix and mix well. Spoon into the base, with half of the blueberries, (don't mix the blueberries as they break up, just place them in the dish). Allow to cool and set in the fridge/freezer. Mix the remaining gelatine with some of the reserved Blueberry juice (this is where I tweek it and add lots more gelatine and mix it with all the juice to make quite a thick layer, and I quite often add a punnet of fresh blueberries too, so there's just heaps of them). Top the set cheesecake with the remaining blueberries and juice/gelatine mix. Cool until set.


    Enjoy....it's devine!
