Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: one 8x8 pan, or a springform pan
Ingredients
  • For the crust:
  • 1 cup (about 200 gr) graham cracker/Biscoff crumbs (gluten intolerants make sure to use some GF crackers)
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp coconut sugar
  • For the filling:
  • 16 oz (about 500 gr) cream cheese
  • 1 cup (about 2 dl) yoghurt (to soften the cream cheese - optional)
  • ⅓ cup coconut sugar
  • 1 vanilla bean
  • 2 large eggs
  • zest and juice of a lemon/lime
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups (about 250 gr) blueberries
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 350 F (180 C). Oil an 8x8-inch pan (or a springform pan) and set aside.
  2. For the crust: In a food processor pulse the graham crackers until crumbly, then add the coconut oil and coconut sugar and mix well.
  3. Pour the crumbs into your pan and with a spatula or your hand (or the bottom of a glass) pack them firmly into the pan, in an even, smooth layer.
  4. Bake for about 7-9 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant.
  5. While the crust is baking mix the filling: in your food processor put all the ingredients except the blueberries. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Lastlly, fold the blueberries in your cream cheese mixture carefully, with a spatula.
  7. Pour the filling over the crust and bake for about 25 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean with no batter stuck to it.
  8. Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for about 1 hour before slicing. I prefer to serve it chilled (put it in the fridge for about 2 hours or even overnight), for extra refreshment serve with additional (frozen) blueberries.
  9. Cheesecake will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week, but trust me, it will be long gone before that! ;-)
