Hello out there! How are you doin’? Another month has passed by already. A new »Bake together – The Baking Surprise« is up – the monthly baking challenge from Andrea (Zimtkeks & Apfeltarte) and myself. I assume by looking at the pictures of this delicious Blueberry Cheesecake Pie you can already guess the topic of the month – it’s blueberries.

Andrea and I have been doing this little baking challenge once a month for over a year now. It all started when we realized we were posting very similar recipes on the same days quite often. Why not make a little challenge out of it by picking a topic and seeing what each of us is doing with it? Well, the result can be seen every last Saturday of the month here and of course on Andrea’s blog.

Well, I guess you get the idea. Let’s get to the cheesecake! So today I got some really nice cheesecake pie with a thick layer of blueberry compote on top. So good! If you love blueberries as much as I do, this pie will be your new best friend for sure. For everybody else who favors cherries, strawberries or for example plums – make a nice compote and use it as the topping and you will have your own perfect cheesecake pie. Just sayin’.

You will see some more blueberries if you are following my Instagram account the upcoming week. While we are speaking (more or less) – I mean while you are reading this, I will be on my way to Canada to jump into the next blueberry field there and pick loads of blueberries. I know it sounds weird, but that’s what’s going to happen. Be prepared for many blueberries coming to Instagram!

And do you know what’s best?! Andrea (and some other bloggers) will be picking blueberries together with me! I really hope we can do our »Bake together« thing there and REALLY bake together for once. That would be a real surprise. So go check my account and follow me so you won’t miss the blueberry extravaganza happening in Nova Scotia next week! See you later folks!

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Place the Amaretto and the water in the fridge for about 30 minutes before you start preparing the dough. Add the flour, salt, and cold butter in small pieces to a large bowl and mix. Cut the butter with a pastry blender into pea-size pieces. Next, add the amaretto and rub everything between your fingers until the dough starts coming together. Add some water if necessary. You should work quick, so the dough does not get too warm. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

2. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a pie dish (23cm)*. Roll out the dough on a floured surface slightly larger than the pie dish, transfer to the form and press to the bottom and sides. Fold excess dough under on the sides and shape a nice crust. Line with a piece of baking parchment and fill the pie dish with (ceramic) baking beans*. Blind bake for about 10 minutes. Remove the paper and baking beans, reduce the heat of the oven to 190°C (375°F) and bake the pie base another 4-5 minutes. Take it out and let it cool down for some time.

3. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until well combined. Pour the filling into the prebaked crust and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set around the edges and the center is still a bit wobbly when you move the pie dish. Take it out of the oven and let it cool down completely.

4. While the pie is cooling down, prepare the blueberry topping by mixing sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Add vanilla extract, water, and lemon juice and mix until well combined. Bring the mixture to a boil, add half of the blueberries and let them cook for about 2-3 minutes. The mixture should have thickened nicely and many berries should have popped. Take off the heat and mix in the remaining berries. Let the topping cool down a bit, then spread it evenly over the cooled pie. Place the pie in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours before serving.

1. Den Amaretto und das Wasser für den Teig für etwa 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank stellen. Das Mehl mit dem Salz in einer großen Schüssel vermischen und dann die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken dazugeben. Die Butter im Mehl schwenken und dann mit einem Teigmischer oder Messer in kleine, etwa erbsengroße Stücke schneiden. Den Amaretto dazugeben und mit den Fingern in die Butter-Mehl-Brösel reiben, bis der Teig langsam anfängt, zusammenzuhalten. Falls notwendig, noch etwas kaltes Wasser dazugeben. Je schneller man hier arbeitet, umso besser für den Teig. In Klarsichtfolie einschlagen und für mindestens 30 Minuten in den Kühlschrank legen.

2. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) Ober-/Unterhitze vorheizen. Eine 23cm Pieform* leicht einfetten. Den Teig auf einer bemehlten Fläche etwas größer als die Form ausrollen und dann in die Form legen und am Boden und den Seiten festdrücken. Den überlappenden Teig einschlagen und dann einen schönen Rand formen. Ein Stück Backpapier auf den Teig legen und mit Backbohnen aus Keramik* ö.Ä. auffüllen. Im vorgeheizten Ofen für etwa 10 Minuten blindbacken, dann Papier und Backbohnen entfernen, die Temperatur des Ofens auf 190°C (375°F) reduzieren und den Boden weitere 4-5 Minuten backen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen.

3. Den Frischkäse mit Schmand, Zucker, Eiern und Vanille Extrakt in einer großen Schüssel verrühren. Die Füllung auf den vorgebackenen Pieboden schütten und dann für etwa 25-30 Minuten backen. Die Füllung sollte sich am Rand gesetzt haben, aber in der Mitte noch etwas wackeln, wenn man an der Form rüttelt. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und komplett auskühlen lassen.

4. Während der Pie abkühlt, das Topping vorbereiten. Dafür den Zucker mit der Stärke in einem kleinen Top vermischen. Vanille Extrakt, Wasser und Zitronensaft dazugeben und alles glatt rühren. Die Mischung zum Kochen bringen und dann die Hälfte der Blaubeeren dazugeben und für etwa 2-3 Minuten mitköcheln lassen. Die Flüssigkeit sollte eingedickt und einige der Blaubeeren sollten zerplatzt sein, damit die Mischung eine schöne Farbe bekommt. Vom Herd nehmen und die restlichen Beeren untermischen. Die Masse etwas abkühlen lassen und dann auf den abgekühlten Pie geben und gleichmäßig verteilen. Den Pie für mindestens 3-4 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen, bevor er serviert wird.

    Lieber Marc,
    dieser Cheesecake Pie sieht ja fantastisch aus – was würde ich jetzt für ein Stückchen geben….!
    Bei mir in der Familie steht bald ein Geburtstag an und ich überlege, ob dies nicht die passende Gelegenheit wäre, diesen Pie zu backen. Meinst du, der hält sich auch über Nacht im Kühlschrank, sodass ich ihn abends zubereite und am nächsten Tag um 3 zum Kaffee serviere? Oder weicht der Pie-Boden dann eher durch?

    Danke schon einmal für deine Antwort und ein schönes Wochenende,
    Svenja

      Hallo Svenja,

      sorry für das späte Feedback – klar kann man den vorher zurbereiten. Am ersten Tag ist er natürlich am “crunchigsten” aber selbst nach 2 Tagen schmeckt er noch super und weicht auch nicht wirklich durch :)

      LG, Marc

    Lieber Marc,
    Danke für die Nachricht – für den Geburtstag war es leider zu spät, aber ich will diesen Pie trotzdem demnächst mal ausprobieren!
    Bin sehr gespannt!

    Liebe Grüße
    Svenja

About me


Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
