No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake (VIDEO)

This light and airy No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake is one of our favorite summer desserts because it’s easy to make and doesn’t require heating up your oven. The texture is luxurious and it’s insanely delicious.
I think it’s such a beautiful cake swirled with juicy, saucy blueberries and topped with even more blueberry sauce. It’s the type of dessert that gets a ton of “Oohs” and “Ahhs,” but it’s so much easier to make than it looks. P.S. It’s also freezer-friendly.

This no-bake blueberry cheesecake is similar to our original No-bake Cheesecake and No-bake Strawberry Cheesecake but this one does not have mascarpone since many of you had asked if the cheesecake could be made without mascarpone. The answer is yes!

No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake RecipeThe blueberry cheesecake is made in three parts: a no-bake graham cracker crust, airy cream cheese filling, and Blueberry Sauce, which we also use on our Baked Cheesecake with Blueberry Sauce. The fresh (or frozen) blueberries are simmered until jammy and then swirled into the fluffy, creamy filling with extra sauce served over each slice.
The hardest part of this recipe is probably waiting for it to set in the fridge, but trust me, friends, it’s worth your patience.
IngredientsThe ingredients here are simple, but be sure to note the temperature of the ingredients because it can affect how the cheesecake thickens up.

Crust Ingredients– graham cracker (14 crackers finely crushed or 1 3/4 cups of crumbs), sugar, and melted butter. You can substitute graham crackers with vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits.

Cream Cheese – Use at room temperature to avoid chunks in your filling. Remove from the oven 1-2 hours before making. To speed-soften, cut the cream cheese into 1/2″ cubes and leave it on the counter for 30 minutes. Avoid low-fat cream cheese.

Sugar – adds just the right amount of sweetness

Sour cream – use cold! You won’t taste it in the filling, but its tanginess adds so much depth of flavor.

Lemon juice – Use freshly squeezed lemon juice and not concentrate.

Heavy whipping cream – use cold and HEAVY cream and not low-fat versions. You can chill the mixing bowl before beating it for the best results.

Blueberry topping – water, lemon juice, sugar, cornstarch and fresh/frozen blueberriesI make this recipe in three easy parts: topping, crust, and filling. You don’t have to pre-bake the crust because we’ve added extra butter to keep it from falling apart.
How to Make Blueberry SauceWe used our Homemade Blueberry Sauce to swirl into the cheesecake and top individual slices. It takes minutes to make, and you can make it up to a week ahead of time.

In a medium saucepan, combine the water, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch and stir until the cornstarch dissolves. Set over medium heat and stir for about 1 minute to thicken.

Add the blueberries, and heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, which takes me about 5-6 minutes. When the berries look syrupy, set aside to cool.How to Make No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs in a food processor or in a large zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with sugar and melted butter. Line the bottom of a 9-inch Springform pan with a circle of parchment paper, and then use the back of a spoon to press the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom and 1/2” up the sides of the pan. Place the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Beat cream cheese and sugar for about 3 minutes using an electric hand mixer, scraping the bowl as needed until completely smooth. Then mix in the sour cream and lemon juice and beat for another minute.

Beat the heavy whipping cream in a separate bowl on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes or until you achieve stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the beaters straight out of the bowl, the whipped cream stands up instead of falling down into the bowl.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese using a spatula. Pro Tip: You can use a stand mixer for this recipe but you will need to clean the bowl and the attachment before beating the heavy cream. This extra step is why I prefer to use an electric hand mixer.

Add half of your filling over the chilled crust. Dot 1/4 of the blueberry sauce over the filling. Swirl it in lightly with the back of a skewer or knife.

Layer the rest of the filling over the top. Dot with another 1/4 of the blueberry sauce, and swirl them in. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to ensure it sets up. To serve, cut and top with the other half of the blueberry sauce. Pro Tip:If you prefer mini cheesecakes, you can follow the tutorial for our Mini No-bake Cheesecakes, swirling blueberries just over the top.
How to Serve No-Bake Blueberry CheesecakeOnce the cheesecake is fully set, carefully remove the no-bake blueberry cheesecake from the springform pan and then cut it into 14 slices, cleaning the knife with a damp paper towel between each cut.
You’ll have half of the blueberry topping left over, so remember to spoon it over each slice to serve. You’ll literally be swooning over every bite.
Can I Substitute the Blueberry Sauce?Sure! I’ve tried a mixture of raspberry and strawberry as the topping, like in our Panna Cotta recipe, or you can try a Strawberry Sauce, or Cherry Sauce as the fruit swirl. You can also try blackberry or fig if you have them on hand. For the holidays, try a Cranberry Sauce no-bake cheesecake.

Make-AheadThis is the perfect make-ahead recipe since the texture of the no-bake cheesecake holds up really well. You can also store the three parts (crust, topping, and filling) separately up to 3 days ahead.

To Refrigerate: Cover tightly and store in the fridge for 3-5 days.

Freezing: Once the cheesecake has set in the refrigerator, wrap it with several layers of plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months.

To Thaw: If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. We like to eat it half-way thawed for a texture similar to ice-cream cake. For a light and airy dessert, you can’t beat our no-bake blueberry cheesecake. You’ll want to show this cake off, but only if you can keep from eating it first.
