Blueberry Cheesecake

July 24th, 2012

Cheesecake? Not a healthy dessert. Until you’ve felt the weight of 2 pounds of cream cheese (plus a pound of butter) in your hands, you can’t really comprehend how something that tastes so light can be so deceptively naughty. But let me assure you – this is worth it. I’ve never even been one of those die hard cheesecake fans, usually choosing something with chocolate or caramel instead. This recipe, topped with a generous helping of fresh blueberries, is such a great way to use up an abundance of summer produce while also thoroughly indulging.

    The sheer idea of putting two pounds of cream cheese and a pound of butter in something is actually the ONLY reason I don’t make cheesecake more often. So. Delicious. And yours is gorgeous to boot!

    I love a good cheesecake, but it is definitely not something to indulge in except for a special occasion because it’s so caloric! Looks so yummy with the blueberries :)

    Cheesecake isn’t my favorite either, but the blueberries on this one make it look so yummy.. and the graham crust is always my favorite part of any cheesecake. This looks delicious! x

    This looks so good, and it turned out looking really pretty too! I’ve always wanted to send you a piece of pottery my parents sell (they import pottery from Europe)… so you can bake one of your beautiful masterpieces in it! I think you’d like the look of it too, it seems to be your style. :)
