Looking for a super easy dessert? Short of time? Then check out this easy-peasy blueberry cheesecake recipe. Blueberries are freely available, low in calories and bursting with goodness – antioxidants, nutrients and vitamins. An 80g serving of blueberries counts as one portion of your 5-a-day (an 80g serving is 2 handfuls or 4 heaped tablespoons of blueberries). Best of all, blueberries increase the brain’s production of feel-good dopamine, a natural neurotransmitter that makes you feel happy. And, in these troubled times, we can all do with a little bit of happiness.
Easy-peasy blueberry cheesecake

minutesThis pudding can be prepared with any fruit. Cheesecake is a popular dessert but doing it this way is quick and easy and just as delicious. It can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the fridge.
Ingredients
50g butter
80g digestive biscuits
1 tbsp caster sugar
200g cream cheese
200g plain yoghurt
50g icing sugar, sieved
125g blueberries
Directions
- Set the butter in a small pan over gentle heat to melt.
- Meanwhile, crumble the biscuits into a small mixing bowl: you can do this in a food processor, but I like to use my fingers because it’s quicker (and there is less washing-up). It’s not an exact science, but it should resemble wet sand.
- Add the caster sugar to the crumbled biscuits, pour in the melted butter and stir until well combined, then spoon the biscuit mix into the 4 glasses, pressing down with your fingers a little to make a firm bottom layer in each vessel.
- In a second bowl beat the cream cheese until smooth then combine it with the yoghurt and mix with a wooden spoon until you have a smooth cream. Now add the icing sugar and mix again until well combined.
