Cheesecake with blueberry sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
For the base:
- 200 g shortbread cookies
- 100 g butter
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
For the filling:
- 500 g soft cream cheese
- 1 glass of 35% cream
- 3 eggs
- 150 g of sugar
- 400 g blueberries
- 2-3 tablespoons of honey
- 1 tablespoon of starch
Preparation:
- Crumble the cookies and grind them with softened butter and ginger until smooth. Place them in a round pan, making shallow edges, and press them firmly against the bottom and sides of the pan. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Beat the cheese and sugar until smooth. While whisking, add the eggs one at a time, then add the sour cream. Spread the cream over the base and bake in the oven at 160°C (325°F) for 45-50 minutes. Cool the base and refrigerate for 5-7 hours.
- Puree half the blueberries through a sieve, add 1/4 cup water and honey, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the remaining berries and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water and simmer until the sauce thickens. Cool.
- Pour the resulting sauce over the cooled cheesecake, cut into portions and serve.
