Ingredients
Scale
- 3 and 1/3 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup cold butter, cubed
- Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup + 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 2 tbsp corn starch
- 1 and ⅔ cups blueberries
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tsp milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and spraying the sides with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and lemon zest.
- Incorporate the cold butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly; use your hands or a mixer.
- Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until just combined. The mixture should be crumbly yet cohesive.
- Press about two-thirds of the mixture into the bottom and up the sides (about 1½ inches high) of the prepared pan. Refrigerate the remaining crumbs.
- For the filling, blend cream cheese, mascarpone, vanilla, caster sugar, and corn starch until smooth. Add eggs one at a time—do not overmix.
- Pour half of the cheesecake mixture into the crust; sprinkle with two-thirds of blueberries. Top with remaining cheesecake mixture and blueberries followed by reserved crumbs.
- Bake for approximately 65–75 minutes or until golden brown; a toothpick inserted should come out clean. If browning too quickly, tent with foil.
- To prepare glaze: mix powdered sugar with milk until desired consistency is reached.
