British cheesecake with warm blueberries recipe
- 150 ml (5.3fl oz) orange juice
- 14 sponge fingers (boudoir biscuits)
- 200 g (7.1oz) tub low fat soft cheese
- 150 g (5.3oz) natural Greek-style yogurt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 50 g (1.8oz) caster sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 75 g (2.6oz) Wensleydale or white Cheshire cheese, finely grated
- 175 g (6.2oz) blueberries
- 50 g (1.8oz) caster sugar
- 1 cup icing sugar, for sprinkling
- 1 cup mint leaves, to decorate (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4.
- Grease an 20cm (8 inch) square shallow cake tin, or grease and line a deeper one with a loose bottom.
- Pour the orange juice into a shallow dish, then briefly dip in the sponge fingers, one by one, and line them up in the base of the cake tin to fit snugly.
- You will have to trim some of them to fit.
- If you have any juice left, sprinkle it over the sponge fingers.
- Beat together the soft cheese, yoghurt, eggs, caster sugar, vanilla extract and Wensleydale or Cheshire cheese.
- Pour over the prepared base.
- Transfer to the oven and bake for 45 - 50 minutes, until risen, set and golden.
- Cool, then remove from the tin.
- For the topping, warm the blueberries with the sugar and about 3 tablespoons of water for about 2 - 3 minutes, until the sugar and juice from the blueberries turns syrupy.
- Cut the cheesecake into portions and spoon over some of the blueberries.
- Sprinkle with a little icing sugar, then serve, decorated with mint leaves, if you like.
