For the Base
Instructions
Step 1
Start by crushing the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs. You can place them in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin. Make sure the crumbs are fine to achieve a smooth base.
In a separate bowl, mix the biscuit crumbs with melted butter until well combined. The mixture should have a sandy consistency. Next, press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to create an even base. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Next, add the sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until fully blended. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to mash them too much as you want them to hold their shape.
Once the mixture is ready, take your prepared crust from the refrigerator and pour the cheesecake filling over the base. Smooth the top with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and place back in the fridge for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set.
Step 3
While the cheesecake is setting, you can prepare the lemon curd. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.
Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the butter and lemon zest until smooth. Allow the lemon curd to cool completely before using.
Step 4
Once the cheesecake has set, carefully remove it from the springform pan. You can serve it plain or top it with the lemon curd. Spread the cool lemon curd evenly over the cheesecake.
Finally, slice and serve with additional blueberries on top if desired. This dessert is perfect for any occasion!
Servings
When it comes to serving this delightful cheesecake, the possibilities are endless! You can pair it with a drizzle of homemade blueberry sauce, a dollop of whipped cream, or even a sprinkle of zest for that extra zing. Here’s some inspiration: 🫐🍋
For a more sophisticated touch, serve slices with a side of fresh mint leaves or edible flowers to elevate the presentation! 🌸 And don’t forget about garnishing with a few fresh blueberries and lemon slices on top for a vibrant finish.
If you’re hosting an outdoor picnic or garden party, enjoy this cheesecake chilled in a portable dessert container for easy transport. It will steal the spotlight and be the talk of the event! Invite your guests to slice and serve with their favorites, encouraging everyone to customize their own piece! 🥳
Equipment

Variations
If you’d like to make this recipe more inclusive, don’t worry! Here are some easy variations: 🥳
For a gluten-free option, simply use gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour for the crust. This will keep the base deliciously crumbly while ensuring it’s safe for those with gluten sensitivities. 🌾🚫
For a vegan twist, substitute traditional cream cheese with vegan cream cheese and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. With a few adjustments, your cheesecake will still be rich, creamy, and full of flavor, while being entirely plant-based! 🌱💚
Faq
- What to do if my cheesecake doesn't set?
If your cheesecake isn't setting properly, make sure to chill it in the fridge for a longer time, preferably overnight. If it's still too soft, it might need more gelatin or a thicker cream cheese base next time.
- Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely! Just be sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in your cheesecake filling.
- Can I add other fruits to the cheesecake?
Yes! You can mix in other berries like raspberries or strawberries for a delicious twist, or even layer them on top for extra decoration!
- How do I prevent cracks on my cheesecake?
Baking it at a low temperature and avoiding overmixing your filling can help prevent cracks. For no-bake versions, chilling it thoroughly will help maintain a smooth surface.
- What can I substitute for lemon in the curd?
If you're not a fan of lemon, try making a lime or orange curd instead! They'll infuse a different flavor while still being delicious!
- How long can I store the cheesecake?
Your cheesecake can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, well covered. Just be sure to enjoy it before it loses its freshness!
