Blueberry Cheesecake filling

When I was thinking about how to make this filling, I wanted to make something simple and tasty. This recipe requires ingredients that can be found in every kitchen. And just look at this beautiful color! No food coloring was added into this filling.

• butter. Unsalted butter was used in this recipe.
• cream cheese. Use the brand you buy in block. Spreadable or whipped cream cheese will be too soft and filling may be runny.
• powdered sugar. I recommend to shift before using.
• blueberry puree. Use store bought or make your own. If you use homemade blueberry puree, I would recommend to remove seeds.

How to make Blueberry puree

In the small saucepan over medium heat cook fresh or frozen blueberries for about 5 minutes. Blueberries need to become soft and release juice.

Tip from Marina: add a teaspoon of water and stir blueberries. This will help to release juice faster.

You can pulse blueberry mixture in the food processor for a few seconds and then remove seeds using fine mesh. This is totally optional. If you prefer rustic style filling then cooking blueberries is all you need.

Why Cheesecake filling is the best:

• this filling is really fast to make.
• does not required chilling (stabilizing time) like ganache.
• tastes like slice of blueberry cheesecake.
• beautiful natural color.

Tips for making Blueberry Cheesecake Macarons

• use blueberry puree. Fresh or frozen blueberries cooked for a few minutes will give amazing color and taste to the filling.
• do not use fresh or frozen blueberries in the filling without cooking them first.
• if filling is not pipping condition, then add more blueberry puree.

How to store

Store Blueberry Cheesecake Macarons in the fridge for 2-3 days. Please note that maturing time for macarons maybe faster than ganache filling. I wanted this recipe to make fast and enjoy macarons fast. I would not recommend to freeze these macarons. After defrosting macarons can become soggy.
