Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce

And a mini me!

Cake cooling with the topping only.

Well here it is, my favorite Birthday Cake. It's large invite lots of people to help you eat it. I've never frozen remains, there never is any.


Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce

Crust
1 1/2c. graham cracker crumbs
½ c. butter melted
5 tbsp.sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Melt butter, combine dry ingredients, and press into a 10 in. spring form pan. Bake about 15 min. Use a rimmed cookie sheet to prevent butter drips.
Filling
1c. sugar
1tsp. vanilla extract
Grated rind and juice of 1 lemon or orange
2lbs. cream cheese
4 eggs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cream cheese until it is soft, add eggs, sugar vanilla and lemon juice and rind. Mix until smooth. Pour onto baked crumb crust. Bake 25-30 min.
Topping
1 500ml. sour cream
1 tbsp. honey
Combine these two ingredients and pour over cheese cake, return to oven and bake 5 min. at 425 degrees.

Prepare blueberries in a small saucepan, and water and cornstarch if needed. I like to use a little lemon juice and some sugar if they are not sweet enough. Top just before serving on cooled cake.
