My favorite thing…
My favorite thing about this Blueberry & Lime Cheesecake is that it’s easy to make, you don’t need to turn on your oven and it’s packed full of delicious blueberries! I’m not really even a fan of fruit. I like bananas, I sometimes eat watermelon (although I mostly can’t be bothered cutting it up) and I eat apples too. I’m not a fan of berries, but blueberries, stewed, and top of a cheesecake-like this are just magical.
What does the Blueberry & Lime Cheesecake taste like?
It’s gorgeous. To me, there’s something really magical about blueberries in desserts. I don’t like them in their fresh state. I find them not that flavourful, but when baked and couple with lemon… Ugh! So yum!
Which ingredients do you need to make this cheesecake?
Crust
Speculoos Cookies – You can use any type of vanilla cookie you like here. I used the biscoff brand cookies.
Unsalted butter – I used unsalted butter for the crust but you can use salted if you enjoy the flavor. You’ll need to make sure your butter is melted.
Stewed Blueberries
Blueberries – You can use frozen like I did or use fresh blueberries. Frozen ones will work just as well and are generally cheaper.
Brown sugar – This is simply used to sweeten the stewed blueberries. If you wish, you can use granulated sugar instead. I’d recommend superfine or caster sugar instead though.
Lime – Use fresh lime. It tastes better than reconstituted stuff.
Cheesecake
Cream cheese – Make sure your cream cheese is softened. It will result in a smoother cheesecake texture.
White chocolate – Make sure you melt your chocolate ahead of time. I would recommend making it the first thing you do. Hen once melted and smooth, set aside on top of a kitchen towel to cool slightly at room temperature. It can be slightly warm when using it, but not hot otherwise you won’t end up with a fluffy cheesecake.
Heavy whipping cream – Make sure your cream is cold and that it has at least 30% fat content. You want to use the type of cream that you can whip.
Mascarpone – This Italian cheese is very subtle in flavor and adds creaminess to the cheesecake making it richer in flavor.
Vanilla extract – make sure you use a good quality vanilla extract.

Tips for making Blueberry & Lime Cheesecake RECIPE
- Chilling the cheesecake in the fridge is so important so this is definitely a make-ahead-of-time dessert. The beauty is it’s so easy to make! Once you’ve made it I would recommend chilling for the full 4 hours. But overnight is best.
- Straining the blueberries of their juices once cooked is important. Especially since you’ll be adding some in the middle of the cheesecake so make sure you don’t skip this step!

I made this cheesecake and it was lovely Nick. Thank you.
Hi Helen! That’s so wonderful to hear! Thanks so much for the lovely comment N x
Hey Nick! This cake looks amazing, and I’m totally gonna make it! I’m just wondering how many grams two blocks of cream chees are? I live in Norway and the supermarkets don’t sell blocks of cream cheese. Is for example one box with Philadelphia the same as one block? Btw, I really love your creations and I look so much forward to enjoy this yummy cake<3 Thea.
Hi Thea! 1 block = 250g. So two would be 500g 🙂 Hope that helps! N x
On this website, someone copied pictures of your cheesecake and shares them as theirs. The website comes from Poland

Hi Robert! Thanks so much for letting me know! I’ve gone ahead and emailed the people running the website and asked them to take down the recipe. Really appreciate you letting me know 🙂 N x
Hey, i forgot to beat the heavy cream and then add the mascarpone, i just mixed the mascarpone with vanilla and after that i mixed toghether with the cheese cream and i just pour the heavy cream into it and mixed till combine. It will gone work out? Or it will remain softened?
That should be fine! N x
Hi Nick, this recipe looks delicious! I plan on making it, but was wondering if you could provide me with a more specific measure of speculoos cookies, I’m not sure how to measure out 2.5 cups worth 😅. Is there a number of cookies, or perhaps the weight in grams? Thank you!
Hi Keira! Apologies for not including this in the written recipe. I’m glad you liked the recipe! I’ts about 250g of cookies. Hope that helps! N x
Hi Nick! Absolutely love the recipe! I’m thinking of making this in a 10inch cake pan. How would the recipe change?
Hi Jen! I haven’t tried it in a pan that big, but I would try making the recipe x1.5. Hope that helps! N x
