Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Blueberry Cheesecake Hearts:
  • 12 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup blueberry puree
  • 2 tsp gelatin powder
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Biscuit Base:
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • For the Mirror Blueberry Glaze:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 tbsp gelatin powder
  • 3 tbsp cold water
  • 1/2 cup blueberry puree
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • For Garnish (optional):
  • 2 tbsp fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp white chocolate curls
  • Edible silver dust

Instructions

  1. Bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Press into heart-shaped silicone molds as the base layer.
  3. Whip cream cheese, mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, blueberry puree, and salt until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Warm a small portion of the mixture and dissolve the bloomed gelatin, then fold it back into the full cheesecake mixture.
  5. Fill molds over the biscuit base and smooth the tops. Freeze for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  6. For the mirror glaze, bloom gelatin in cold water for 5 minutes.
  7. Heat sugar, water, and corn syrup until fully dissolved and clear. Remove from heat and stir in gelatin and blueberry puree until smooth and glossy. Add lemon juice and mix well.
  8. Allow glaze to cool until slightly thick but still pourable.
  9. Unmold frozen cheesecake hearts and place on a wire rack. Pour the mirror glaze evenly over each heart, letting excess drip off.
  10. Transfer to serving plates and chill for 20 minutes before serving.
  11. Finish with fresh blueberries, white chocolate curls, and edible silver dust.

Notes

Optional garnishes can be adjusted to preference; ensure gelatin is fully bloomed for proper setting.
