Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
6. Line a 20 x 30cm rectangular tin with baking parchment.
Put the biscuits in a food processor and blitz to a fine
crumb. Add the butter and blitz again to combine. Tip into
the tin, press down firmly with the back of a spoon to
cover the base, then bake for 10 mins. Leave to cool.
-
Meanwhile, tip 25g of the
sugar and the blueberries into a small pan. Mix the
cornflour with 1 tbsp cold water and add this to the pan.
Heat gently until the sugar dissolves. Increase the heat
and bubble for 1-2 mins until saucy. Set aside to cool.
-
In a large bowl, whisk
the cream cheese with an electric hand-held whisk until
smooth. Add the remaining sugar and whisk again. Add the
flour, vanilla, eggs and soured cream, and whisk until
smooth and well combined.
-
Pour half the cheesecake
mixture over the biscuit base, then spoon half the
blueberry sauce on top in small blobs. Cover with the
remaining cheesecake mix and smooth the surface with a
spatula. Drizzle the remaining blueberry sauce over the
top, then use the end of the spoon to ripple it into the
cheesecake. Bake for 10 mins, then lower the heat to
110C/90C fan/ gas ¼ and bake for a further 30 mins. Turn
off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for 1 hr,
then leave for 1 hr more with the door ajar. Finally,
leave at room temperature until completely cool, then
chill for at least 3 hrs or, even better, overnight. Slice
into 14 bars.
-
Will keep in the fridge for up
to 5 days.
