Blueberry Cheesecake

I was reading Catherine Lau's Cheesecake Seduction before I go to bed last nite and wanted so much to make a cheesecake this morning when i woke up... After marketing @ NTUC, I was supposed to bath my 2 dogs... instead, I started my cheesecake experiment...
I didn't really follow the ingredients stated as I dun have digestive biscuits at home.. so I used watever I had in my baking cabinet...
The cheesecake turned out well, tasted good except for my very 失败 "self-invented" cake base :( I should have crush them into "powdered form"!! NVM... I learnt something again :P

see... the base is breaking up!! :'(


Ingredients (My version):

Base
60gm Butter
60gm Feulletine
60gm Nestum flakes
60gm Corn flakes, crushed

Filling
500gm Cream Cheese
80gm Caster Sugar
50ml Lemon Juice, Strained
1 tbsp Lemon Zest, finely grated
1 1/2 tbsp Gelatine Powder, dissolved in 100ml water
500gm Nestle All-purpose Cream

Topping
1/2 tbsp Gelatine Powder, dissolved in 50ml water
200gm Blueberry Pie filling

Method

Base

  • Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Stir in all crushed base ingredients, Fry until fragrant.
  • Pressed into a greased 23cm springform cake pan with the back of a spoon.
  • Cover cake pan and refrigerate for at least 30mins.

Filling

  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice and zest until smooth. Pour in gelatine and mix until combined. Blend in cream
  • Pour filling on biscuit base. Cover cake pan. Refrigerate for at least 6 hrs before removing from pan.
Topping
  • Dissolve gelatine powder in water, mix together with the blueberry filling. Stir over low heat until mixture combined.
  • Pour topping onto cake. Cover and refrigerate until set.



I think the above ingredients actually make a very thick cheese topping... Eat liao sure very "gelat one" ... so I tought of dividing the cheese filling into 2 portions and top up another layer in different flavour... but then, I was lazy... so I did the rest as per below:-
Yes! I bought another batch of plastic cups from Sheng Siong (again! :P) this morning... and very eager to fill them up with something. And I think this mini blueberry cheesecake in jelly cup oso not bad hor?!? ;-P ...At least the base won't break apart ;-P haha!
