This No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake is a creamy, velvety dessert featuring a buttery graham cracker crust, a light and airy cream cheese filling, and fresh blueberries, perfect for warm days and last-minute gatherings without requiring any baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Filling

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Topping

  • Fresh blueberry compote or additional fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted unsalted butter in a bowl, then press the mixture evenly into the base of a springform pan or individual serving glasses. Chill in the fridge to firm up for about 15 minutes.
  2. Whip the cream cheese filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy, ensuring a velvety base free from lumps.
  3. Whip the heavy cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. This airy whipped cream will lighten the cheesecake filling and give it a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
  4. Fold in whipped cream and blueberries: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, then carefully fold in the fresh blueberries and a splash of lemon juice to keep the filling light and full of berry bursts.
  5. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cheesecake to set perfectly without any baking.
  6. Add blueberry topping: Before serving, top the cheesecake with a fresh blueberry compote or more fresh blueberries for added color, texture, and flavor.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a creamier filling.
  • Chill your mixing bowls to keep whipped cream stable and fluffy.
  • Don’t skip the chilling time to ensure the cheesecake sets firm and slices cleanly.
  • Prefer fresh blueberries over frozen for better texture and flavor contrast.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent crumbling and add satisfying crunch.
