Blueberry Creme Fraiche Cheesecake Recipe
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 24 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 cup creme fraiche
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup creme fraiche
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preparing the Crust:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminium foil to prevent leaks.
In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
2. Crafting the Filling:
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and crème fraîche until smooth. Add sugar and beat until combined.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by vanilla extract and salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Gently fold in fresh blueberries with a spatula.
Pour the filling over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
3. Baking and Chilling:
Place the springform pan in a large roasting pan and fill the roasting pan with enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
Bake the cheesecake for 55-65 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the door closed for 1 hour.
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4. Perfecting the Topping:
In a small bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the topping over the chilled cheesecake before serving.
