Method
-
Invert base of a 22cm round springform pan (base measures 21cm). Grease and line base with baking paper.

Process biscuits in a food processor until finely crushed. Add butter. Process until combined. Press over base and three-quarters of the way up side of prepared pan. Refrigerate while preparing the filling.
-
To make the filling, process cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in the same, clean food processor until smooth. Add eggs, one at a time, processing until combined. Add cream and custard powder. Process until smooth. Pour into biscuit crust. Sprinkle with blueberries. Place on an oven tray.
-
Cook in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 45 minutes, or until just set (filling will still be wobbly in centre). Turn oven off. Cool in oven 1 hour with door ajar. Remove from oven. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
-
To make the sauce, combine blueberries, sugar and 1/3 cup water in a medium saucepan over a medium heat. Cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Bring to boil. Gently boil for
3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Press through a sieve over a heatproof jug. -
Remove side of pan. Transfer cheesecake to a serving plate. Serve topped with whipped cream and blueberry sauce.
