Description
A delicious and easy-to-make no bake blueberry cheesecake that is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the cheesecake is set, pour the blueberry mixture over the top, spreading it evenly. Return to the refrigerator for an additional hour to chill.
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute the blueberries with strawberries or raspberries.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for an extra citrus kick.
