Airy No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe 🍰

This Airy No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake is a light, creamy, and decadent dessert that’s perfect for hot days when you don’t want to turn on the oven! With a buttery graham cracker crust and a sweet blueberry topping, it’s a dreamy treat! 🫐🍰

Ingredients (Serves 8-10):

For the crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs 🍪
  • 1/4 cup sugar 🍬
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈

For the filling:

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream 🥛
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍭
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋

For the blueberry topping:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries 🫐
  • 1/4 cup sugar 🍬
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce) 🌽

Instructions:

  1. Make the Crust:
    • In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. 🍪🍬
    • Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is evenly coated. 🧈
    • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form the crust. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. 🧊
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy. 🧀🍭🍦🍋
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. 🥛
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. The mixture should be light and airy! 🫧
  3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
    • Spoon the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. 🍰
    • Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results. 🧊⏳
  4. Make the Blueberry Topping:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. 🍇🍋
    • Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and release their juices. 🥄
    • If you prefer a thicker topping, mix the cornstarch with a little water and stir into the blueberry mixture. Cook for another 2 minutes until thickened. 🌽
    • Let the topping cool to room temperature. 🧊
  5. Serve the Cheesecake:
    • Once the cheesecake is chilled and the blueberry topping is cool, pour the topping over the cheesecake. 🫐🍰
    • Slice, serve, and enjoy this light, airy dessert! 🎉🍽️

Tips for Success:

  • For an extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the crust. 🌰
  • If fresh blueberries aren’t in season, you can use frozen blueberries for the topping. ❄️🫐
  • This cheesecake can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2-3 days! 🧊

This No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake is a sweet, airy delight that’s perfect for any occasion! 🍰🫐💖
