Method

  1. Place the blueberries in a saucepan with 1 tbsp of the caster sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Cook, covered, for 5 mins until the berries are soft and juicy. Add the cornflour paste and cook, stirring until thickened. Divide the blueberries between 4 heatproof dishes and leave to cool for 10 mins.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the soft cheese, yogurt, vanilla and lemon zest with the remaining caster sugar. Add the crumbled biscuits to the dishes and top with the cheesecake mixture. Cover and chill for 1 hr.
  3. Heat grill to high. Sprinkle each cheesecake with 1 tbsp demerara sugar, then mist with a water spray - this helps to speed up the caramelisation. Place under the grill for 1-2 mins until the sugar has melted or use a cook's blowtorch. Return the pots to the fridge to chill for 30 mins or for up to a day, before serving.

    This was glorious. I did substitute the digestive biscuits with Nature Valley maple syrup granola bars due to a wheat intolerence which worked wonderfully well. I couldn't quite get the sugar to caramelise as I did not have a blow torch and I became a little impatient with my grill but it was delightful nevertheless. Well worth trying folks!

    Delicious! I have made these twice, once using a chefs blow-torch and the second under the grill. It worked much better with the torch as I found it difficult to get the sugar to caramelise under the grill. Would definitely recommend.

    Something I liked here was the 5' put-together instructions. It's definitely a recipe for a last-minute lunch/dinner, as the ingredients are easy to have in the pantry and I guess we could change the fruit to whatever we have at home. I'd only add a coulis, or a sauce, as I thought the cream is quite dry and acid...

    These were very good and easy to put together. I made mine the day before and then caramelised an hour before eating. I would recommend to make and eat on the same day as the biscuit did go soggy. I caramelised the first two with a blow torch and then ran out of gas, so had to do the other two under the grill. The blow torch was definitely better.

    Made for dessert tonight, very nice. I used a blow torch and although I still need more practice they all turned out 'crunchy' on top. Was nice to have a low fat pud that didn't taste as if there was something missing ! Will definitely make again.

    Though it was very easy to make I didnt enjoy the taste of the Greek yogurt, it made it taste very acidic. Not one of my favourites unfortunatley.
