Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for crust)
- 150 grams all-purpose flour
- 226 grams cream cheese, softened
- 75 grams granulated sugar (for filling)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300 grams blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 50 grams granulated sugar (for topping)
- 1.5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 60 ml water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan or springform pan.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and 50 grams of granulated sugar (for crust) together until light and fluffy.
Add the all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form the crust. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and 75 grams of granulated sugar (for filling) until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time to the cream cheese mixture, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden but the center is slightly wobbly. Let it cool completely to room temperature.
While the torte is cooling, prepare the blueberry topping: Combine the blueberries, 50 grams of granulated sugar (for topping), cornstarch, water, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the blueberries release their juices and the sauce thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the torte has cooled, spoon the blueberry topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate the torte for at least 2 hours to allow it to set before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Yummy and Simple Blueberry Torte!
