Description
A delightfully easy no-bake cheesecake with a buttery graham cracker crust, rich cream cheese filling, and a fresh blueberry topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1½ cups whipped topping or whipped cream
- 2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- ⅓ cup sugar (for blueberry topping)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for topping)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water (for slurry)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix until blended, then press into a springform pan and chill in the refrigerator to set.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, mixing until you have a creamy consistency. Gently fold in the whipped topping.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Chill for at least 240 minutes or overnight to let it set beautifully.
- Prepare the blueberry topping: In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, ⅓ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook on medium heat until the blueberries burst, releasing their juices. Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry, and stir it into the blueberry mixture until thickened. Let it cool completely.
- Finish and serve: Once the cheesecake has set, pour the blueberry topping over it. Slice into pieces and serve chilled to enjoy every rich bite.
