Tools
Bowls for mixing
An electric mixer or whisk
A springform pan measuring 9 inches (23 cm) or a comparable deep dish
A little saucepan
Directions
Step 1: Get the crust ready
- Crush the biscuits or graham crackers into fine crumbs. You may either use a food processor or put them in a zip-top bag and roll a rolling pin over them.
In a bowl, combine the crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until the mixture is the consistency of wet sand.
- Make sure the mixture is level and compacted by pressing it firmly into the springform pan’s bottom. For optimal results, use the bottom of a glass or the back of a spoon.
- To set, Refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Step 2: Prepare the Rice Filling for Cheesecake
- Beat the cream cheese in a mixing bowl until it’s smooth and creamy. To prevent splattering, start the electric mixer at a low speed.
- Add the sugar and vanilla extract and beat until smooth and completely combined.
In a another dish, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. The whipped cream should be gently folded into the cream cheese mixture.
- Make sure the cooked rice is equally distributed by stirring it in. This dish is more substantial and filling because of the distinctive texture that the rice gives.
- Using a spatula to smooth the top, spread the mixture over the cold crust. Put it back in the fridge to set for at least two to three hours, preferably overnight for optimal effects.
Step 3: Get the blueberry topping ready
- Put the lemon juice, sugar, and blueberries in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring periodically, over medium heat until the blueberries start to release their juices.
- In a small bowl, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch and water. Stir continuously to prevent lumps as you pour this into the blueberry mixture.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce is glossy and thickens. Add a tablespoon of water to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
- Before covering the cheesecake rice layer with the blueberry topping, allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step Four: Put Together and Serve
- Evenly cover the set cheesecake rice layer with the chilled blueberry topping.
- To let all the layers to blend together wonderfully, Chill for an additional half hour.
- Slice and serve after carefully removing the sides of the springform pan. Savor each bite’s acidic, sweet, and creamy flavors!
