      1. Defrost the Blueberry Frozen Fruit Puree With 10% Added Sugar

      Preparation

      1. Pour the filling into the baked base, if there are any lumps, sink them using a knife - the top should be as smooth as possible.

      2. Bake for 10 minutes at 190°C

      3. Reduce oven temperature to 100°C and bake for 30 minutes more.

      4. If you gently shake the tin, the filling should have a slight wobble.

      5. Let cool in the oven for 2 hours. PRO TIP- For a creamy centre ,turn off the oven and open the oven door, if you prefer it more firm leave it closed.

      6. The cheesecake may get a slight crack on top as it cools.

      7. Run a round-bladed knife around the sides of the tin to loosen any stuck edges. Unlock the side, slide the cheesecake off the bottom of the tin onto a plate, then slide the parchment paper out from underneath.

      8. Pour the defrosted Blueberry Frozen Fruit Puree With 10% Added Sugar as required and top with fresh blueberries.
