How do I make it?
- Preheat oven to 160C. Line a 23-centimetre square cake tin with baking paper ensuring plenty of overhang on the sides.
- Add biscuits, butter, brown sugar, and salt to a bowl and mix to combine. Press into the base of the cake tin and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Add cream cheese and caster sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until smooth. Add eggs and beat, then add sour cream and beat until the mixture is smooth. Pour mix over the prepared crust and sprinkle blueberries over the top.
- Make crumble by adding flour, sugar, and butter to a bowl and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour and sugar. Add oats and almonds and stir to combine. Sprinkle crumble over the top of the blueberries and bake for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly before refrigerating for at least 3 hours.
- Use the baking paper to remove the cheesecake from the cake tin and cut into squares.
