Ingredients
Scale
For the Base:
- 230g speculoos biscuits (or sablé bretons)
- 4–5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 360g cream cheese (Philadelphia or St Môret)
- 100g powdered sugar
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 300g heavy cream (30% fat), whipped to stiff peaks
For the Blueberry Coulis:
- 300g fresh or frozen blueberries
- Juice of ½ lemon
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch (maïzena)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the speculoos biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble: Spread the cream mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
- Prepare the Blueberry Coulis: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and vanilla sugar. Simmer on low for 10 minutes. In a small cup, dissolve cornstarch in a bit of water and stir into the fruit mixture. Simmer for 2–3 more minutes until thickened. Let cool completely.
- Serve: Carefully unmold the cheesecake. Spoon the cooled blueberry coulis over the top. Garnish with fresh blueberries or mint leaves if desired. Serve chilled.
Notes
This no-bake cheesecake is perfect for make-ahead entertaining. For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the filling. The coulis can also be served on the side.
