Why you’ll love this recipe -

Blueberry cheesecake has always been a weakness of mine, so when I first made this recipe, which essentially combined all of the elements of a cheesecake - a crunchy base, creamy topping, blueberries, and drizzles of honey for sweetness, I was sold.

You might think I’m going rogue with the hot honey, but there’s something really enjoyable about the subtle heat paired with juicy blueberries that just works - you’ll have to trust me on this one.

Flaky salt and walnuts add a beautiful crunch, and the whole thing is a marvellous play of textures and flavours that come together in every delightful bite.
