Instructions
Make the cheesecake base and filling
- Soak 7 g of gelatin in cold water and set aside to soften.
- Add 200 g of creamcheese to a mixing bowl and gently break it down with a spatula.
- Add 80 g of blueberry jam and mix well. If your jam already contains sugar, you can skip adding extra. Adjust the sweetness to your liking and mix until the cream cheese and jam are completely smooth.
- Add 160 g of heavy cream and mix until fully combined. Set aside.
- Heat 50 g of milk until hot. Squeeze out the softened gelatin and stir it into the hot milk until completely dissolved.
- Pour the gelatin milk mixture into the blueberry cream cheese mixture. Mix well until everything is evenly combined and smooth.
- After several rounds of mixing, it’s time to assemble the cake. Prepare a round mousse cake ring and cover one side with plastic wrap to make unmolding easier.
- Place the ring on a baking tray and pour in half of the mixture. Add some fresh blueberries on top. Place them gently — the amount depends on your preference.
- Pour in the remaining mixture, then gently press down any blueberries that float to the surface.
- For the crust, place Ritz crackers on top to cover the surface evenly. You can skip this step or crush the crackers before adding, if preferred. Once done, cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 12 hours until fully set.
