Lets Talk Ingredients

ingredients for healthy blueberry cheesecake.

Blueberry - Use fresh or frozen, they both work. If using frozen, thaw them first.

SWITCH IT UP: Use other berries as raspberries, blackberries or strawberries.

Cream cheese - Full fat natural, please. You can use light cream cheese but you need to experiment with the amount of gelatine to help it set because it won't be the same.

SUBSTITUTION: Use full fat natural Greek yogurt.

Sweetener - I use erythritol. You can use whatever dry sweetener that you prefer, for example Stevia. Don't use liquid sweetener as it won't make the cheesecakes set properly, unless you go ahead and experiment adding more gelatine.

Gelatine - I use natural powdered gelatine with the amount to set 1 cup (250 ml) of liquid.

SUBSTITUTION: Use agar agar instead. Follow your packet's instructions on how to use it. Use the amount to set (as mentioned above) as needed because it's different between brands.

How To Make Them Set

I've tested setting these cheesecakes using 2 different methods and they both work great.

In the freezer - 2 hours, the fastest way. But you need to leave them at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving so that you can enjoy the creamy texture.
In the fridge - coldest part in the fridge takes 4 hours.

Do They Freeze Good?

Yes, they do. I've tried it.

What I do is place them apart on a parchment paper, on a baking tray and place in the freezer for 2 hours. Then place them in an air tight container and back in the freezer. They last up 6 months.

How Long Do They Last Outside The Fridge?

These cheesecakes have gelatine, yes. But as any other cheesecakes, they need the cold to maintain their shape, texture and flavour.

Don't leave them out in room temperature for more than 30 minutes.

Serve just when you're about to eat them (unless they're frozen). If not, keep them in the fridge all the time, up to 3 days. Beyond that, I'd suggest you freezing them.
