450g Cream cheese
150g Caster Sugar

Icing sugar to dust
24cm diameter spring form / loose bottomed tin.
1) Preheat the oven to 180 c . Butter the sides and base of the cake tin.
2) Place the biscuits in a food processor and whiz until quite fine. Mix the crushed biscuits with the melted butter and press down into the base of the tin so that it is nice and even. Spread the blueberries over the base and allow to chill in the fridge while you make the topping.
3) Beat the cream cheese , sugar , vanilla extract and the eggs together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy. Pour over the top of the blueberries and then bake in the oven for 40 mins or until it is pale golden and should only wobble very slightly when you gently shake the tin .
4) Allow to cool in the tin for about 10 mins , Then run a knife around the edge to loosen it and carefully remove the cheesecake from the tin. Transfer to a serving plate , sprinkle over a few blueberries if you wish then dust with icing sugar.
