Description
$A creamy, no-bake blueberry cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, a smooth cream cheese filling, and a chilled blueberry topping. Perfect for warm weather or make-ahead occasions.
Ingredients
1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 sheets)
6 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
1¼ cups (10 oz) block-style cream cheese
1 cup confectioners’ (powdered) sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
1 recipe homemade blueberry sauce or canned blueberry pie filling, chilled
Instructions
- Stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan. Chill for at least 15 minutes to set.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and thick.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Chill the assembled cheesecake in the fridge for at least 3–4 hours, or ideally overnight, to firm up.
- Just before serving, spread or dollop the chilled blueberry sauce on top.
- Slice and enjoy.
Notes
- Chill the cheesecake overnight for the best texture.
- Use full-fat block-style cream cheese for optimal results.
- Alternative crusts like crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread can be used.
- Can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
- Chill the topping before adding to prevent softening the cheesecake.
