Equipment

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 200 g digestive biscuits crushed
  • 75 g butter melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 250 g cream cheese softened
  • 100 g caster sugar
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon lemon curd
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 100 ml whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons icing sugar
  • 125 g blueberries fresh or frozen
  • A few drops of dark or black food coloring optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line the base of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix crushed digestive biscuits and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture into the base of the pan to form an even crust.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool completely.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and caster sugar until smooth.
  • Add lemon curd, baking powder, and whipping cream. Beat again until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Puree blueberries and stir into the filling. Add food coloring for a deeper gothic color if desired.
  • Pour the filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly but the edges are set.
  • Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool for 1 hour inside the oven.
  • Transfer the cheesecake to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Once fully chilled, remove from the pan and top with extra blueberries, icing sugar, or whipped cream before serving.
