Blueberry Cheesecake - No bake

Not so long ago, being a fan of expensive coffee shop blueberry cheesecakes, I have long been wanting to make my own cheesecake. Surprisingly, when i bought a cream cheese, it had a recipe on the package. So out of curiosity, i tried this one. It is a no-bake cheesecake. I had a lot of attempts before finally perfecting it. And with these attempts, my family were so ever happy to taste all of it.

This is quite difficult if you just follow the steps on the package of Magnolia cream cheese and if you have no baking experience. I had to read it all over again just to make sure i did not miss any step. So in this recipe, I made it simpler. I decided to post it anyway because a relative of mine asked for a cheesecake recipe and because I typed it anyhow.

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE

CRUST:

1 1/4 cups graham crackers, crushed

1 tsp cinnamon –optional

1/3 cup melted butter/margarine

2 TBSP sugar

Dissolve sugar in melted margarine. Mix with the rest of ingredients until combined. Press on a pie plate. Chill.

FILLING:

1 pack (225g) cream cheese, softened

¼ cup sugar

1 tbsp knoxx gelatin

3 TBSP milk

1 pack(250ml) all purpose cream (Nestle or Alaska), chilled

1 cup blueberries in syrup (Comstock or any other )

Beat cream cheese and sugar until light and well blended.. Set aside. Sprinkle gelatin over milk, and heat on low until dissolved. Add to cream cheese mixture while it is still hot. Continue beating to blend well. In a separate bowl, whip cream until stiff (when beaters are lifted, it forms pointed sharp peaks). Slowly fold into cream cheese mixture. Pour into crumb-lined pan. Top with blueberries. Chill until it is firm.

Dimpay's NOTE:

--When beating all purpose cream, make sure the bowl and beaters are clean, dry and chilled. Or else it wont get stiff. Do not over beat.

-- You can also make strawberry cheesecake by substituting Strawberries in syrup(comstock or any other american brand) or fresh strawberries.

-- I only prefer Knoxx gelatin for this cheesecake. No other substitute.

Fold - To blend (a light ingredient) into a heavier mixture with a series of gentle turns:
