Happy Sunday!

3 days to go til 2025, here is crossing fingers for the best for everyone 😊 Are you looking forward to 2025? I'm looking forward to many things, mostly related to my recovery, which is going so slow. Meh. I know I should not compare myself to others who went through the same, as everyone's body is different one to another, but my gosh, I miss my daily walk, I miss my non swollen tummy, I miss running up and down the stairs (well not running, I mean faster movement), bending myself, or anything that I normally could do, could feel. What a whiner, hey 😅 But I am bored and I am close to 8 weeks post-op and am still in pain much, now and then. Not as intense as 4 weeks ago, sure, but the pain could be alarming so to say. It's been crazy 🤪

So, let's just share a recipe, shall we 🤣🤣🤣

I baked this awesome blueberry cheesecake that my boys love much.

350 g digestive cookies
1/2 c unsalted butter, melt

2 blocks of cream cheese
2 tbsp sour cream
1/2 c sugar
1 tbsp vanilla essence
2 eggs
2 tbsp strong baker’s flour

1/2 c water

Into food processor, process cookies into crumbs, dump onto a bowl

Preheat oven to 400 F

Dilute cornstarch in water, set aside

Melt butter, then stir into cookie crumbs, dump some into spring form pan, reserve some about 4 tbsp for topping, mix in sugar, set aside

Bake crust for 5 mins

While crust is baking, bring blueberries in water to boil, cook for 5-8 mins, then stir in cornstarch solution, take off from heat

Take out crust from the oven, let it cool to room temperature

Beat cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and essence until creamy, then beat in eggs one at a time

Mix in flour, divide batter into two bowls

Into one bowl, add in some of the blueberry filling, reserving 3 tbsp for topping, mix to combine well

Spread reserved blueberry, then sprinkle top with reserved cookie crumbs

Continue baking for another 10-15 mins (center should still be somewhat jiggly)

Cool to room temperature before chilling overnight

Enjoy 😊
