For this cheesecake I used a springform of 18 cm. That made the cheesecake relatively high (on the photos we divided them across two different tins, so this one is much lower) and the baking time had to be increased by about 10 minutes. If you use a 20 cm tin 30 minutes should be enough.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 150 C
Line the bottom of your caketin with baking paper. Ground the cookies in a machine or - using a rolling pin - smash them into small pieces (good if you need to get rid of some agression)
Put the crumbs in a bowl and melt the butter on a low heat. Add the butter to the crumbs and mix it well. Put into the caketin and with the back of a spoon press it into the tin so it gets compact. (if you use a 18 cm tin don't use all of the crumbs as it is slightly too much) While you're working on the rest place the tin in the refrigerator.
Put the monchou in a large bowl with the sugar and whisk it until smooth. Add the eggs one by one and mix in between until smooth and well combined.
Stir the blueberries in with a wooden spoon and pour everything into your baking tin. Put into the preheated oven and leave to bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is firm but still a bit wobbly. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely to roomtemperature. Put in the fridge for setting for at least 2-3 hours afterwards.
For the topping mix the mascarpone and the icing sugar together until smooth. Whisk the cream in another bowl to soft peaks and fold this through the mascarpone
Divide the mixture over the top of your cheesecake and leave to set for a few hours in the fridge.
