I&#8217;d also been wanting to make a cheesecake for a while, so why not a bilberry cheesecake? Having not made one before I decided to follow a recipe and liked the look of one by Mark Hix &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redonline.co.uk\/food\/recipes\/mark-hix-s-blueberry-cheesecake\">Mark Hix&#8217;s Blueberry Cheesecake<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"punch_left\">Serves: 4<br \/>\nPreparation time: 15 minutes<br \/>\nCooking time: 10 minutes, plus 2-3 hours chilling timeYou will need<br \/>\n450g blueberries, hulled<br \/>\n200g caster sugar<br \/>\n200ml water<br \/>\n20g cornflourFor the base:<br \/>\n250g digestive biscuits or Hobnobs<br \/>\n80g butter, meltedFor the filling:<br \/>\n300ml double cream<br \/>\n100g caster sugar<br \/>\n500g cream cheese, such as Philadelphia<br \/>\nFinely grated zest of 1 lemon<br \/>\n1 tsp vanilla extract<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h1>The Recipe<\/h1>\n<p>As you can see from the recipe it says that it serves 4 people, however, as soon as I saw the list of ingredients it was clear that this was going to be more than enough for far more people than that. It has almost a whole packet of hobnob biscuits for the base for a start and then with 500g of Philadelphia and 300ml of double cream, there&#8217;s plenty here for at least 12 portions, if not 16. All I can say is that if Mark Hix would divide this little beauty of a cheesecake into 4 portions then I like the sound of that and may just have to visit one of his restaurants!<\/p>\n<p>It was pretty easy to make though. I only used about 200g of bilberries rather than the 450g that he suggests. Bilberries do have a stronger taste than blueberries but even so, once they were made into a sticky syrup there was loads of it and more than enough to use some to colour and marble the cheesecake filling with plenty left over to make a rich decadent sauce to spoon over the top of it ready to eat. The sauce has some fresh, uncooked bilberries in it that provide a little burst of tartness as they explode in your mouth.<\/p>\n<p>I have to admit that I do like cheesecakes but tend to go for more substantial cakes when I get the chance. I really\u00a0shouldn&#8217;t though as they are delicious and this one is no different. Trouble is, there&#8217;s quite a lot of it there to share between just Anna and myself and it\u00a0won&#8217;t keep for long. On ttop of that we have Bilberry Muffins to finish off as well as some <a title=\"Gluten Free Polenta and Honey Cake\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2013\/gluten-free-polenta-and-honey-cake\/\">Honey and Polenta cake<\/a>, and what&#8217;s more I&#8217;ve just polished off 6 pieces of various types of cake and flan at a Beekeeping meeting! Morgan in his foolishness won&#8217;t even try it &#8211; \u00a0he\u00a0doesn&#8217;t know what he&#8217;s missing!).<\/p>\n<p><script charset=\"utf-8\" type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?rt=tf_cw&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;MarketPlace=GB&#038;ID=V20070822%2FGB%2Falslikklworls%2F8010%2F92600a05-b4ed-4f5b-be9b-4f8d7f0d29c4&#038;Operation=GetScriptTemplate\"> <\/script> <noscript><a HREF=\"http:\/\/ws-eu.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?rt=tf_cw&#038;ServiceVersion=20070822&#038;MarketPlace=GB&#038;ID=V20070822%2FGB%2Falslikklworls%2F8010%2F92600a05-b4ed-4f5b-be9b-4f8d7f0d29c4&#038;Operation=NoScript\">Amazon.co.uk Widgets<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OK, I know I called them blueberries when we picked them and blueberries when I baked them in muffins but they are in fact bilberries.
