  • Base: Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Place butter and sugar in the mixing bowl with the paddle. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Clean the edges of the bowl. Beat at high speed for 3 minutes until the mixture is airy. Add lemon and orange zest and orange liqueur.
  • Beat at high speed for 30 seconds. Lower the speed to low, gradually incorporating the flour and salt, beat for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer and finish incorporating the ingredients with a silicone spatula. Wrap the dough in cling film. Roll the dough on a flat surface to form a cylinder approximately 15 cm long and 3 cm in diameter.
  • Place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and remove the cling film. Cut the dough into 12 slices of approximately 1.2 cm. Divide the slices onto 2 baking sheets.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 16 – 18 minutes or until the edges look golden. Halfway through baking, rotate the baking sheet 180°. Remove the cookies from the oven and let cool on the sheets at room temperature. Grease a circular springform cake pan of approximately 22 cm with butter.
  • In a food processor fitted with a blade, chop half of the cookies until they become medium crumbs, and continue with the other half. Place the crumbs in a bowl and mix with 2 tablespoons of softened butter. Mix with your hands until the crumbs are incorporated. Line the base and sides of a previously greased springform pan and press to ensure the crumbs stick well. Refrigerate the pan until needed.
  • Cheesecake: Preheat the oven to 120°C and prepare a water bath. Place in a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle, the cream cheese, 2 cups of sugar, 2 teaspoons of chopped lemon zest and beat at low speed for 3 minutes until softened. Clean the edges of the bowl.
  • Add ¼ cup of flour, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Clean the edges of the bowl. Add 2 eggs and beat at low speed for 2 minutes. Clean the edges of the bowl. Add the other 4 eggs and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Again, clean the edges, as this helps achieve a better consistency. Add ½ cup of lemon juice and beat at low speed for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
  • Finish incorporating the ingredients with a silicone spatula. Pour the mixture into the springform cake pan. Spread 1 cup of blueberries over the mixture. Place the cheesecake in the oven to bake in the water bath for 1 hour. Lower the temperature to 105°C and bake for 1 hour. Reduce the temperature to 91°C and bake until the internal temperature of the cheesecake reaches 77°C, for approximately 1 hour and a half. Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let cool in the water bath for about 1 hour. Refrigerate the cheesecake for 12 hours, without unmolding.
  • Cream and Topping: Combine ¼ cup of sour cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a small bowl and stir until incorporated. Unmold the cheesecake and with a serrated knife, even out the base with the cheesecake. Using a spatula, spread the sour cream mixture over the cake and the edges. Arrange the blueberries on top of the cream. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
