Ingredients
- 400 g frozen blueberries ( 2 ¾ cups)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp sugar
- graham crackers, crushed
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 180 g white chocolate (1 cup)
- 125 ml whipping cream (½ cup)
- 250 g low fat cream cheese, softened (16 1/2 tbsp)
- 125 ml low fat sour cream, room temp (½ cup)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Pinch of salt
- fresh blueberries, for topping
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
- Combine blueberries, lemon juice, and half the sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a simmer, swirling occasionally for about 10 minutes.
- While the blueberries are simmering, melt chocolate in a bowl placed on top of the blueberry saucepan. Stir regularly until melted, then set aside to cool slightly.
- Once the blueberries have softened and are coated in a thick syrup, pour them into a wide bowl and place in the fridge to cool faster.
- To make the crust, simply crush biscuits into fine crumbs using a blender or by placing them in a bag and beating with a rolling pin. Mix in melted butter and set aside.
- Next, whip cream into shape in a medium-sized bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine cream cheese, remaining sugar, sour cream, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Add room temperature melted chocolate and beat until well blended.
- Finally, fold the whipped cream into the mixture, being careful not to overmix and lose the air.
- Assemble. Layer the blueberry cheesecake in individual serving glasses.
- Start by dividing half the biscuit mixture among four glasses and pressing down lightly with the base of a slim glass.
- Then, pipe half the cheesecake mixture into each glass. Next, layer on half the blueberry sauce to each glass before repeating the process for a second layer of each.
- Finish it off with a topping of fresh blueberries and mint.
- Enjoy a delicious and creamy dessert!
Tips:
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before beginning.
- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture.
- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use whipped topping instead.
- Serve in individual glasses for an elegant touch.
