Instructions
Preheat oven to Gas Mark 4, 180°C, 350°F. Lightly oil a 10 inch, 25-26cm cake tin.
Rinse and drain the blueberries.
To make the base: Mix the ingredients together and press evenly into the bottom of the tin. Do not line the sides.
To make the filling: Using an electric mixer, beat together cheese, creme fraiche, sugar(s) and vanilla extract (if using). Add the eggs one at a time and beat well to mix. Add milk and flour and beat again to mix thoroughly. Finally, fold in the blueberries.
Bake for one hour. Remove and allow to cool.
Once cooled, spread or pipe the creme fraiche topping. Chill in fridge for at least 3 hours before serving. Decorate with blueberries immediately before serving, still chilled.
