Ingredients

  • 200g (7oz) digestive biscuits, crushed
  • 75g (3oz) butter, melted
  • 500g (1lb 2oz) medium-fat soft cheese
  • 175g (6oz) caster sugar
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 300ml (1/2pt) soured cream
  • 40ml (11/2tbsp) cornflour
  • For the blueberry topping:
  • 50g (2oz) caster sugar
  • 100g (4oz) blueberries
  • 5ml (1tsp) arrowroot

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 160C, 300F or gas 2. Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter, and press into the base of a lightly greased 20cm (8in) spring-form cake tin. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.
  • Beat the soft cheese and sugar together, then beat in the eggs and lemon juice. Fold in the soured cream and cornflour. Pour over the biscuit base.
  • Bake for 1.5 hrs until the filling is just set. Turn off the heat and leave the cheesecake in the oven until cold.
  • To make the topping: place 150ml (1/4pt) water in a pan with the sugar. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then add the blueberries and simmer for 5-6 mins. Blend the arrowroot with 15ml (1tbsp) water and stir into the pan. Cook for a further minute, stirring until just thickened. Leave to cool.
  • Spoon the blueberries and sauce over the cheesecake just before you're ready to serve.
