Ingredients
  

  • 300 g blueberries

For the dough

  • 230 g flour
  • 110 g butter
  • 1 egg
  • 50 g sugar

For the cheese mixture

  • 500 g low-fat quark
  • 150 g yoghurt
  • 100 g sugar
  • 1 package vanilla sugar
  • 1/2 lime organic grated peel
  • 2 tbsp. cornflour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 40 g gelling sugar 2:1

Instructions
 

Preparation of dough

  • Mix 230 g flour and 50 g sugar in a bowl. Then add 110 g butter and an egg. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
  • Finally, form a smooth ball and put it in cling film in the fridge. It should rest for about one hour.

Preparation of the cheesecake

  • Preheat oven to 175 °C. Roll out the dough with a dough roller and form a circle of about 30 cm. Then place the dough on a buttered cake tin or one covered with baking paper and pre-bake for 10 minutes.
  • ATTENTION: To prevent the dough from bloating, place some weight on the dough. You can use uncooked beans or rice. Personally, I simply place baking paper over the dough and put a plate on top. It always works quite well!
  • Stir the low-fat quark and the yoghurt together. Mix sugar, jam sugar, vanilla sugar, lime zest and starch and stir in. Separate the 3 eggs.
  • Mix the egg yolks individually in the cheese mixture. Beat the egg whites with salt until stiff and fold in.
  • Pour the cheese mixture onto the short pastry. Place the blueberries on top and press them lightly into the cheese mixture.
  • Bake the cake for 50 minutes at 175 °C. Allow the cake to cool slightly before cutting and serving.
