Ingredients
1 sleeve (14 oz) ginger snap cookies or similar light-colored cookies (such as graham crackers or digestive biscuits)
4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, melted
Three 8-oz packages (680g) cream cheese, room temperature
1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup blueberry jam
3 medium peaches, sliced
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
Coarse sparkling sugar for sprinkling on top (optional)
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (176ยฐC) and lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan. Grind 1 sleeve (14 oz) of ginger snap cookies into fine crumbs and combine them with 4 tablespoons (57g) of melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and partway up the sides of the pan, then place it on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Adjust butter if needed for proper consistency to avoid a dry crust.
2-Next, reduce the oven heat to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). In a large mixing bowl, beat three 8-oz packages (680g) of room-temperature cream cheese and 1 cup (198g) of granulated sugar on low speed until smooth, scraping the bowl as needed. Add 4 large room-temperature eggs one at a time, mixing well after each to ensure a creamy texture. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then pour the batter over the baked crust.
3-Now, bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly, reaching an internal temperature of 175ยฐF (80ยฐC). Turn off the oven and crack the door open, letting the cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour to prevent cracking. After that, remove it from the oven and cool on a rack at room temperature for 30-60 minutes before refrigerating.
4-Once cooled, spread 1/2 cup of blueberry jam over the top of the cheesecake. Arrange 3 sliced medium peaches and 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries artistically on top, then sprinkle with coarse sparkling sugar if desired. Refrigerate the cheesecake in the pan for at least 6 hours to set fully. To serve, run a thin, non-serrated knife around the edge to release it, then unlatch and remove the band carefully.
