Delicious Cheesecake

Method

• step 1

  Preheat the oven to 160C, 300F or gas 2. Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted butter, and press into the base of a lightly greased 20cm (8in) spring-form cake tin. Chill in the fridge while making the filling.

• step 2

  Beat the soft cheese and sugar together, then beat in the eggs and lemon juice. Fold in the soured cream and cornflour. Pour over the biscuit base.

• step 3

  Bake for 1.5 hrs until the filling is just set. Turn off the heat and leave the cheesecake in the oven until cold.

• step 4

  To make the topping: place 150ml (1/4pt) water in a pan with the sugar. Heat gently until the sugar has dissolved, then add the blueberries and simmer for 5-6 mins. Blend the arrowroot with 15ml (1tbsp) water and stir into the pan. Cook for a further minute, stirring until just thickened. Leave to cool.

• step 5

  Spoon the blueberries and sauce over the cheesecake just before you're ready to serve.
