Ingredients
125g blueberries
140g Western Star Chefs Choice Cultured Unsalted Butter, melted
1/4 cup CSR Soft Icing mixture
300g plain sweet biscuits, finely crushed
900g cream cheese, softened
250g CSR caster sugar
4 tbsp plain flour
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 eggs
200ml sour cream
Method
With Mum or Dad's help, preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 20 x 30cm cake tin and line with baking paper
Add the blueberries, icing sugar and a splash of water (about a tablespoon) to a medium bowl. Use the back of a fork to squash all the blueberries and mash everything together until mixed well
Use a big wooden spoon to stir together the crushed biscuits and melted butter in a large bowl. Carefully tip the crumb mixture into the base of the cake tin, and then press firmly with your fingers to cover the base. Ask Mum or Dad to transfer the tin into the oven to bake for 10 minutes. Once ready and out of the oven, turn the heat down to 110°C
Beat the cream cheese and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium until very smooth. Carefully add the flour, vanilla, eggs and sour cream, then continue to beat until mixed. Make sure not to turn the speed too high or else you might end up with egg on your face
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the cooled base then drop tablespoons of the blueberry mixture over the filling. Swirl lightly with the handle of a spoon, and see what patterns you can create
Ask Mum or Dad to transfer the cheesecake into the oven to bake for 45 minutes. When the cake is ready, it should be just set and the centre should wobble slightly. Remove from the oven and cool completely in the tin
Once cool, place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or ideally overnight… if you can wait that long
