This is by far the best cheesecake I have ever made. I am not exaggerating here – not the slightest bit! It’s not because of the blueberries, it is because of the cheesecake… this creamy delicious cheesecake ;) You have to make it yourself and then you will see that I am telling the truth!
Really! This cheesecake is far beyond awesomeness ;) It is so creamy soft and delicious. I could not believe it when I had my first bite right after the photo shooting. I have never made a cheesecake like that. The ones I know and made so far were all different – you make the filling, mix everything together and then you bake it. For this one here you cook something similar to a pudding first, mix in some more ingredients and then you bake it. The cooking of the filling makes it so much creamier – it is unbelievable! :)
Some will probably think now “WTF?! I am doing my cheesecake like that for years already” – well, for me it was completely new and somehow a spiritual experience! Just kidding! But it is still an awesome cake you definitely should try to make! Don’t try to shorten the cooling time – it is really best to let it cool overnight – that way you can cut it much better when serving.

1 1/4 cups (150g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (50g) confectioner’s sugar
3.5 oz. (100g) butter
1 large egg yolk
pinch of salt
lemon zest
For the filling:
7 oz. (200g) heavy cream
2/3 cup (130g) sugar
1/4 cup (35g) cornstarch
3-4 tbsp. milk
12 oz. (340g) low-fat curd cheese
2 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1/2 organic lemon
For the topping:
5-6 tbsp. blueberry jam
7 oz. (200g) fresh blueberries
150g Mehl (Type 405)
100g Butter
50g Puderzucker
1 großes Eigelb
Prise Salz
Zitronenschalenabrieb
Für die Füllung:
200g Sahne
130g Zucker
35g Speisestärke
3-4 EL Milch
340g Magerquark
2 Eigelb
1 TL Vanille Extrakt
Prise Salz
1/2 Bio-Zitrone
Für das Topping:
5-6 TL Blaubeerkonfitüre
200g frische Blaubeeren
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. Line a 7 inch (18cm) springform tin with baking parchment and grease. Roll out 2/3 of the dough to a circle as big as the tin and transfer to the tin. Form a long log out of the remaining dough, transfer to the tin and press to the sides so you get a nice crust that is at least 2 inches (5cm) high. Place again in the fridge until you need it.
3. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (175°C). Mix the cornstarch with the milk until completely dissolved. Set aside. Add the sugar and heavy cream to a saucepan and bring to a boil – be careful not to burn it. Add the cornstarch mix and let cook while stirring constantly until you get a thick pudding. Remove from the heat and let cool down a bit.
4. In a bowl mix the curd cheese, egg yolks, vanilla extract, salt and the juice and zest of the half lemon until combined. Add to the saucepan with the pudding and mix until well combined. Pour into the springform tin and even out the surface with a spatula. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 300°F (150°C) and bake for another 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack. Place in the fridge and let cool for at least 5-6 hours or overnight.
5. Take the cake out of the fridge about 30 minutes before serving. Wash the blueberries and let drain. Add to a bowl and mix with the blueberry jam. Spread the mix carefully over the cheesecake and serve.
2. Eine 18cm (7 inch) Springform mit Backpapier auslegen und einfetten. Vom Teig etwa 2/3 für den Boden ausrollen und in die Form legen – aus dem restlichen Teig eine Rolle formen und dann an den Rand der Springfrom pressen, damit ein schöner Boden für die Füllung entsteht, der mind. 5cm (2 inch) hoch ist. Bis zur weiteren Verwendung in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Die Speisestärke mit der Milch verrühren, bis keine Klümpchen mehr zu sehen sind. Zur Seite stellen. Zucker und Sahne in einen Topf geben und zum Kochen bringen – nicht anbrennen lassen. Sobald die Sahne kocht die Stärkemischung zugeben und unter ständigem Rühren aufkochen und andicken lassen, bis eine puddingartie Masse entsteht. Vom Herd nehmen und etwas abkühlen lassen.
4. In einer kleinen Schüssel den Quark mit den Eigelben, Vanille Extrakt, Salz und dem Saft und dem Abrieb der Zitrone verrühren. Die Mischung in den Topf geben und alles gut verrühren. Die Quarkmasse in die Springform füllen und glattstreichen. Für 15 Minuten backen, dann die Hitzezufuhr auf 150°C (300°F) reduzieren und für weitere 15 Minuten backen lassen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und komplett auskühlen lassen. In den Külschrank stellen und für mindestens 5-6 Stunden oder über Nacht kühlen.
5. Den Käsekuchen ca. 30 Minuten vor dem Servieren aus dem Kühlschrank nehmen. Die Blaubeeren waschen und abtropfen lassen. In eine Schüssel geben und mit der Blaubeerkonfitüre vermischen. Vorsichtig auf dem Käsekuchen verteilen und servieren.

Holy moly! Can’t wait to try this!
Guten Abend, ich habe gerade diesen Käsekuchen nachgebacken doch nach einer Stunde backen ist dieser noch immer flüssig innendrin. Ist das normal? Ich habe alle Schritte befolgt?
Hi.
Die Füllung sollte nicht flüssig sein – beim Kochen sollte die Masse schon schön eindicken.
Nach dem Backen kann die Füllung noch ordentlich wackeln, aber das sollte sich nach dem Abkühlen von selbst lösen.
Viele Grüße
Marc
Question, when you say curd cheese do you mean cheese curds or cottage cheese?
Neither ;)
Curd cheese is called “Quark” in Germany. It’s similar to cream cheese but not quite…
