Instructions
 

Base

  • Break and crumble the cookies, they are quite fragile. Combine with butter and spread on the bottom of your cake mould. Spread evenly and press. Refrigerate while preparing cream mixture.

Middle layer

  • Mix all the ingredients except eggs. When everything is well combined and creamy, add one egg at a time, mixing continuously. When you're done, spread the mixture over the cookie base and bake on 160°C or 320 F for about 45 to 50 minutes. Turn the oven off. Open the oven door and leave the cake inside to cool down gradually.
  • Once it's cooled down, you can spread the top layer.

Top layer

  • Prepare the top layer by mixing all the ingredients until well combined. Go easy on the whipping cream because the mixture shouldn't be to fluid. Add it gradually.
  • Refrigerate it for at least a couple of hours. Overnight would be best.

Blueberry sauce

  • Prepare blueberry sauce by cooking all the ingredients except cornstarch. Cook until blueberries start to break down, 15-20 minutes. In the end, mix cornstarch with a little bit of water and add it to the blueberry sauce. It will help thickening it.
  • Serve chilled cheesecake with a spoonful of blueberry sauce on top and enjoy.
