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 Lemon Cheesecake

- Add the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth and well 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. The chewy texture of the rice gives this delicacy a distinctive twist.

Step 3: Get the blueberry topping ready
- Place the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring regularly, 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

- To let all the layers to blend together wonderfully, Chill for an additional half hour.
