My 1st Blueberry Cheesecake

I made other cheesecakes before, White Toblerone, Oreo, Mango, Peaches, Banana and Orange (weird right? lol! Coz that's the only fruit available in our ref that time.) I made this Blueberry cheesecake last February for my Mom's birthday. Too bad i wasn't able to take a picture of the sliced cheesecake. Not a pretty shot, eh? Anyway, i promised my friend Camille that i will post another cheesecake as soon as i have all the ingredients ready. 

Ingredients:

Crust:

• 9 whole graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons golden brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Filling:

• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin (Knox)

• 1 pack Philadelphia cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 pack all purpose cream
• 1 cup sugar
• 
  
• Topping:

• 1 cup chilled heavy whipping cream
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2/3 cup blueberry jam
• 1 can blueberry 
• 
  

Directions:

For crust:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Blend first 4 ingredients in processor until graham crackers are finely ground. Add butter and vanilla; process until moist crumbs form. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and 1 inch up sides of 9-inch-diameter springform pan. 

For filling:
1. Pour 1/4 cup water into small saucepan; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand 10 minutes. Stir over very low heat just until gelatin dissolves. Set aside.

2. Blend cream cheese, cream, sugar in processor until smooth.  With machine running, add warm gelatin mixture through feed tube and blend well. Pour filling into crust. Cover; chill overnight. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.) Run knife around pan sides to loosen cake. Release pan sides. Transfer to platter.

For topping:
1. Beat cream and sugar in medium bowl until firm peaks form. Spread cream mixture thickly over top of cheesecake. 

2. Place berries in bowl. Heat jam in small saucepan over low heat until just melted. Pour jam over berries; toss to coat. Mound coated berries in center of cream, leaving 1-inch plain border. Chill cake at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
