Blueberry Basque Cheesceake


A blueberry Basque cheesecake is a delightful twist on the classic Basque-style cheesecake, known for its creamy interior and deeply caramelized top. This version adds a fruity burst from blueberries, which pairs beautifully with the cheesecake’s rich and slightly tangy flavor. 

I absolutely adore Basque cheesecake ever since the first time I baked one. Now, I rarely make traditional cheesecake and instead keep experimenting with different Basque cheesecake flavors. For example, I tried a purple sweet potato version, and it turned out amazing!

Ingredients:

- 250 g cream cheese, room temperature
- 120 g heavy cream, room temperature
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 60 g sugar
- 25 g flour 
- 60g blueberries 

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Prepare the Baking Form: Line the bottom of a 6-inch round baking pan with parchment paper.
3. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the room temperature cream cheese with sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
4. Add Eggs: Slowly add the room temperature eggs to the cream cheese mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
5. Add Heavy Cream and Blueberry Puree: Pour in the room temperature heavy cream, and stir part of the blueberries. Mix until well combined.
6. Pour the Batter: Pour the cheesecake batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Add the remaining blueberries on top for decoration.
7. Bake: Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the top is set and slightly puffed. The center should still be slightly jiggly and the cake has caramelized colour.
8. Cool Down: Once baked, remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
9. Chill: Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for about 4 hours or until fully set.
10. Serve: Once chilled, carefully remove the cheesecake from the pan, slice, and enjoy!
