Preparação
For the blueberry jam:
- Bring the blueberries with sugar over medium heat, stirring every once in a while. The blueberries will burst and, eventually, you will get a thick purée.
- Place in the food processor and blitz to obtain a homogenous mixture. Let it cool down.
For the crust:
- In the food processor blitz the cookies and melted butter for a few seconds. You should have a mixture that resembles wet sand.
- Spread this mixture in a springform pan of about 22 cm in diameter. Press it with the back of a tablespoon to form the base and "walls" of the cheesecake.
- Place in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
For the cheesecake:
- In the mixer, beat the cream cheese with sugar until creamy.
- Dissolve the cornflour in the heavy cream. Pour into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add the yogurt and about 130 grams of blueberry jam (save the rest for decorating). Beat a little more to get a smooth mixture.
- Spread this mixture in the cheesecake pan evenly.
- Prepare a tray with a little water for the water bath. Place the cheesecake pan in a slightly bigger round pan, to avoid water getting in it. Place this pan in the tray you prepared.
- Bake for about 60 to 70 minutes, depending on the oven. The cheesecake should be set in the edges, but still a bit wobbly in the center.
- Let it cool down for 1 hour. Then place in the fridge for at least 6 hour, preferably overnight.
For the decorating:
- Beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks.
- Spread the blueberry jam you set aside on top of the cheesecake.
- Decorate with the whipped cream using a pastry bag. Top it off with a few more blueberries.
