Instructions
- BLUEBERRY PUREE. In a medium saucepan combine blueberries and sugar and bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely. Puree in a food processor or blender until smooth.
- In a small bowl dissolve gelatin powder in hot water (60 ml). Pour it into the blueberry puree and mix. Set aside.
- OREO CRUST. Remove the filling from Oreo cookies and crush them in a food processor or you can crush them using a rolling pin. Place the cookies (without filling) in a plastic bag and roll the sealed bag with a rolling pin. Using the second method, you will need to put some muscle into it to get fine crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter. Press into bottom of cheesecake pan. Freeze while you prepare the lemon filling.
- LEMON FILLING.Pour the whipping cream in a large cold bowl and whisk on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the cream cheese and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Add the lemon peal and lemon juice; beat 5-10 sec just to combine.
- In a small bowl combine gelatin powder with hot water (80 ml). Stir briskly with a fork until dissolved.
- Pour the gelatin mixer into the bowl with whipping cream and mix by hand.
- ASSEMBLE. Pour the filling over the frozen crust, smoothing out to sides of the spring form. Pour the blueberry puree over the filling. Cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 6 hours before decorating. Run a hot knife around the edge of pan to loosen.
- DECORATION. Top with fresh blueberries if desired.
- Enjoy!
