  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour (+ 1 TBS for the filling)
  • 1/3 cup of brown sugar (+ 3 TBS for the filling)
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter (cold; cubed)
  • 1 cup of farmer's cheese (or cottage cheese)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt (heaping)
  • 1 cup of blueberries

Directions

This rustic blueberry cheesecake features a creamy, lightly sweet filling nestled between a buttery crumble base and topping. Amaranth adds a distinct nutty note and a more wholesome feel. Juicy blueberries bring freshness and a gentle burst of sweetness, making it a simple yet satisfying bake.

  1. In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, amaranth flour, cold butter, and 1/3 cup brown sugar. Rub the ingredients together with your fingers until a crumbly texture forms. Set aside.(5 minutes)
  2. In another bowl, add the farmer’s cheese, eggs, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar. Break up the cheese and mix until smooth and uniform. Add the Greek yogurt and mix again, then stir in 1 tablespoon flour until fully combined.(5 minutes)
  3. Spread half of the crumble evenly in a small baking dish lined with parchment paper. Top with the cheese mixture, then scatter the blueberries over it. Finish with the remaining crumble on top.(5 minutes)
  4. Bake at 350°F (176°C) for 40-50 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is set.(50 minutes)
