Best Baked Almond Banana Blueberry Cheesecake Recipes

BAKED ALMOND, BANANA & BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and lightly grease a 20cm round non-stick springform cake tin. Melt the butter and syrup in a pan, then stir in the oatcakes and almonds until well mixed and coated. Press firmly into the base of the tin to make a compact layer, then bake for 10 mins. Remove from the oven and increase it to 240C/220C fan/gas 9.
• To make the filling, mash the bananas in a large bowl. Add the ricotta, yogurt, eggs, syrup, vanilla and almonds, and beat with a wooden spoon until everything is very well mixed. Pour onto the base, scatter over the blueberries and bake for 10 mins, then turn the oven down to 110C/90C fan/gas 1 /4 and cook for 30-35 mins more. It should still have a bit of wobble in the middle when you gently shake the tin. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside to cool and set. Chill before serving.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat it to 325°F.
• Boil water: Fill a kettle or a large pot with water and cover it with a lid. Bring it up to a boil over high heat while you prepare the cheesecake filling. You will use the boiling water to create a hot water bath to bake the cheesecake.
• Bake the cheesecake: Bake the cheesecake until slightly puffed up around the edges and 2 to 3 inches in the center is slightly jiggly (resembling Jell-O), about 1 hour 30 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the oven door about 1 inch. You can use a wooden spoon to prop the door open. Let the cheesecake finish setting in the oven until there is barely any jiggle left in the center, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes. Loosely cover it with a clean kitchen towel and refrigerate it until fully cooled, at least 6 hours. The cheesecake will firm up and no longer jiggle in the center.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/3 cup sugar in a bowl. Press crust mixture into the bottom of a pie plate.
• Whip together cream cheese and 3/4 cup sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Spread filling over crust in the pie plate.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center is almost set and slightly jiggly, about 45 minutes. Allow cheesecake to cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Combine blueberries and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan over low heat. Stir cornstarch and cold water together in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir cornstarch mixture into blueberries in the saucepan. Bring to a low boil, about 5 minutes and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes more. Pour blueberry topping over cheesecake before serving.
