Ingredients

The cookie base

  • 45 g melted, unsalted butter
  • 90 g digestive cookies

Blueberry puree

  • 80 g fresh blueberries
  • 30 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • a pinch of salt

Cream cheese filling

  • 200 g cream cheese
  • 70 g sugar-free Greek yogurt
  • 175 ml heavy whipping cream
  • 60 g granulated sugar (used separately)
  • 9 g gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  • Grind 90g digestive cookies in a blender or food processor, mix with 45g melted butter, and press into a 15cm round pan. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Cook 80g blueberries with 30g sugar, 1 tsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt for 5 minutes, then sift to remove skins and set aside to cool.
  • Bloom 1 tbsp gelatin in 30ml water. Whisk 200g softened cream cheese with 30g sugar, then fold in 70g yogurt and 2 tsp lemon juice.
  • Microwave bloomed gelatin for 10-12 seconds, mix with a little cream cheese, then fold into the rest of the mixture.
  • Whip 175ml heavy whipping cream with 30g sugar to soft peaks using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture, reserving 150g for the white layer.
  • Pour the blueberry cream cheese mixture over the cookie base and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Then, add the reserved white layer and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Run a hot towel around the pan to unmold and smooth the sides. Whip heavy cream until stiff, and add a little purple food coloring for the icing. Pipe the frosting on top with fresh blueberries. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use condensed milk or white chocolate instead of gelatin to help the cheesecake set.
  • To make the cake ahead, store the crust, topping, and cheesecake filling separately in the fridge for up to 3 days. Once set, wrap the entire cheesecake tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge, or enjoy it half-thawed for a fun, ice-cream cake-like texture.
