You can make this creamy, no bake blueberry cheesecake with a simple graham cracker crust. It is a quick dessert perfect for summer or any time you need a make ahead dessert idea.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1 (21 ounce) can blueberry pie filling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cream cheese base: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract and lemon juice until the mixture is creamy.
  3. Whip the cream: In a separate, chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread half of the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Spoon half of the blueberry pie filling over the cream layer. Top with the remaining cream cheese filling. Use a knife or spoon to gently swirl the remaining blueberry filling into the top layer for a blueberry swirl cheesecake effect.
  5. Chill: Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm.
  6. Serve: Before serving, carefully release the springform side. You can top with extra fresh blueberries if desired. Slice and serve this easy cheesecake chilled.

Notes

  • For the best creamy cheesecake texture, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
  • This recipe works well as a make ahead dessert; prepare it the day before you plan to serve it.
  • If you prefer a baked version, you can adapt this filling, but chilling time will change.
