Whether you’re spending the day making a snow fort in your backyard or curled up on the couch watching cartoons, a snow day is a perfect time to try making a new tasty treat at home! This delicious blueberry cheesecake is easy to make. If blueberries aren’t your favourite, use blackberries and raspberries instead. Whatever you use, this dessert is sure to brighten up your day.
Ingredients
- 1 lb 2 oz (500 g) blueberries
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 8 oz (250 g) cream cheese
- 1 cup crème fraîche
- 1/4 tbsp pure vanilla extract
- 8 oat cookies, rushed
Equipment
- Small saucepan
- Wooden spoon
- Bowl
- Tablespoon
- 4 glasses
Instructions
1. Ask your parents to help with the first step. Place three-quarters of the berries and half the sugar into a small saucepan. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes, until soft. Stir in the remaining berries and let cool. 2. Using a clean wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese, crème fraîche, remaining sugar and vanilla extract together in a mixing bowl. Continue stirring until well mixed and soft.
3. Create a layered look by filling 4 glasses with a spoonful of the blueberry sauce, then a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture, and then a spoonful of the crushed cookies.
4. Repeat the layers once more and put the filled glasses in the refrigerator for an hour to give the mixture time to set. Serve chilled right from the fridge.
