Make this creamy, cool blueberry cheesecake without turning on your oven. It features a simple graham cracker crust and a rich filling topped with a fresh blueberry sauce, perfect for warm weather or make-ahead entertaining.

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 heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (for topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  2. Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated. Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until the filling is light and creamy.
  3. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
  4. Prepare the blueberry topping: In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Serve: Once the cheesecake is firm, carefully remove the springform ring. Spoon the cooled blueberry topping over the cheesecake before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a quicker set time, you can chill the cheesecake in the freezer for 2 hours, but overnight chilling yields the best texture.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, this is a great make ahead dessert that saves time later.
