Ingredients
Base:
175g light digestive biscuits, crushed

1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp lemon juice
397g Carnation® Condensed Milk
500g light cream cheese
150g half fat crème fraîche

3 lemons, zested and juice of 1 lemon
4 tbsp plain flour
Method
  1. Heat the oven to 180C. Grease and line a 23cm square tin.
  2. For the compote, add fruit, sugar and 1 tbsp lemon juice to a pan and cook until the fruit has softened and started to break down. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
  3. Mix together the crushed biscuits and melted buttery spread and press firmly into the base of the baking tin.
  4. Add all the cheesecake ingredients to a large bowl, mix until smooth then pour over the biscuit base. Add spoonfuls of the blueberry compote to the top and using a skewer, swirl it through the cheesecake mix.
  5. Place in the oven and bake for 30–40 mins until there is a slight wobble in the middle when you shake the cheesecake. Allow the cheesecake to cool completely before removing.
  6. Slice into pieces and serve. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
