Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150ºC/300ºF/Gas mark 2
Grease the sides of a

In a small saucepan, melt the butter
In a food processor, add the Hobnobs and grind to a fine crumb
Add the ground biscuits to the butter and combine
Empty the mixture into the base of the tin and smooth the surface evenly using the back of a tablespoon
Bake the base for about 15 minutes then set aside to cool while you make the cake mixture
Zest & juice the lemons. Set aside
In the food processor you used to crumb the biscuit, add half the blueberries and lemon juice and purée
In a stand mixer (or large mixing bowl if doing it by hand) add the cream cheese, sour cream and sugar and mix thoroughly
Gently whisk the eggs in a measuring jug before adding them to the cheese mixture in 3 stages, mixing well after each addition
Add the puréed blueberry & lemon juice mixture followed by the lemon zest, making sure it's well incorporated
Boil a kettleful of water
Before pouring the cheesecake mixture into the tin, wrap the tin in foil to make it water tight
Put the tin into an oven tray (at least 5cm/1-inch deep)
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the tin and put the oven tray & cake into the preheated oven
Fill the oven tray to about ½cm/¼-inch below the rim with the boiled water
Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes
When cooked, turn off the oven and allow the cheesecake to cool in the oven, with the door ajar
When completely cool, top with the other half of the blueberries and put in the fridge
