Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 75 g butter (soft)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 80 g wheat flour
  • 80 g corn flour
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 890 g cream cheese, room temperature
  • 230 g mascarpone
  • 310 g sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large lemons (the zest)
  • 3 tbsp lemon(s) (the juice)
  • 400 g blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp lemon(s) (the juice)

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Preheat the oven to 160°C and line a 24cm springform pan with baking paper. Cream the softened butter with the sugar until creamy. Then stir in both types of flour and the salt until the mixture becomes crumbly. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan and press it down. Bake the base for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove and set aside. While the base is in the oven, you can start on the filling. You will need a very large bowl in which you beat the cream cheese, mascarpone and sugar until creamy. Also stir in the eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice until everything is well combined. Pour this cheese mixture onto the pre-baked base, smooth it out and then finish baking the cheesecake in the oven for 75-90 minutes. It should have a light color and be firm about 6cm from the edges inwards. The center, however, will still be wobbly and not firm. Remove from the pan and leave to cool on a wire rack for about 15 minutes. Then loosen the edges with a knife and leave to cool completely (at least 2 hours). It can be eaten cold or covered and refrigerated overnight. Before serving, prepare the blueberry sauce. To do this, set aside 100g of the blueberries. Put the remaining 300g into a small saucepan together with the sugar, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil while stirring, reduce the heat slightly and simmer uncovered for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture has thickened. Then add the remaining blueberries and stir in. Remove the blueberry sauce from the heat and serve either lukewarm or well chilled, spooned over a slice of cheesecake.
