Blueberry Shortbread Cheesecake image

I personally prefer cheesecake with a different crust rather than a graham cracker crust. Through trial and error, I have come up with this recipe using blueberries. It takes a lot of time, but is definitely worth it. Don't think about the calories!

Time 9h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

¾ cup unsalted butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
1 cup white sugar
1 pint sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
zest from 1 lemon
1 quart blueberries
1 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine the butter, flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Process until mixture begins to form small lumps; press into the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce oven's heat to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Beat the cream cheese and 1 cup of sugar in a bowl until soft and creamy. Stir in the eggs one at a time, until smooth. Gradually stir in the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest. Pour the mixture over the crust.
  • Bake until firm to the touch, 45 to 55 minutes. Meanwhile, make the topping by combining the blueberries, sugar, and cornstarch in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook until thickened. Allow mixture to cool.
  • Pour the cooled blueberry mixture over top of the cream cheese layer. Chill assembled cheesecake in refrigerator overnight.

This cheesecake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the blueberry topping next time.

I'm not a huge fan of cheesecake, but this one was really good! The blueberry topping was the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the cheesecake itself was creamy and not too dense.

I made this cheesecake for a party and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. The only change I made was to use a graham cracker crust instead of a shortbread crust.
