No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake is an easy summer dessert recipe, perfect for casual weeknights or potlucks with friends.
Are you a fan of the classic Cherry Cheesecake dessert? If so, you’re going to love this blueberry version!
Blueberry Cheesecake
The fun begins with a graham cracker crust. The original blueberry cheesecake recipe my family used called for baking the graham cracker crust, but I’ve made this recipe even simpler and I love it this way.
The graham cracker crust is topped with an irresistible no-bake cheesecake filling before being smothered with saucy blueberries.
While cherry might be the most popular cheesecake topping, blueberry was the cheesecake topping that my family liked the best growing up. No one can resist my mom’s homemade blueberry pie filling.
Side note – if you love blueberry desserts as much as our family does, don’t miss these Blueberry Pie Bars or Blueberry Crunch!
No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
I’ve tweaked the classic recipe a bit, by adding a bit more butter to the crust so we can skip the baking step and the crust will still hold together.
However, if you prefer a baked crust, go ahead and bake it for 10 mins at 325 F.
Because of the unbaked crust, you will also need to make sure that the cheesecake chills for at least 6 hours in the fridge. If you skip or shorten that step, there’s a risk that the crust won’t hold together.
Check out this post for how to make a perfect no bake graham cracker crust. And one last tip on the crust, be sure to finely crush the graham crackers.
I recommend using a food processor or blender if at all possible. The finer the crumbs are, the better the crust will hold together.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Dessert
There’s something just a little magical about cream cheese when you lightly sweeten it and whip it into fluffy awesomeness. Topped with a fruit filling, it is transformed into airy no-bake cheesecakes that are perfect for sharing all summer long.
If you love the combination of blueberries and cream cheese as much as we do, you’ll want to try this Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal too. And these Cream Cheese Danishes are super easy to make with puff pastry, but they taste so much fancier than the 5 or 10 minute dessert that they are!

This blueberry cheesecake is one of our favorite no-bake desserts, but there are so many more to choose from for easy summertime desserts.
Try these No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies. They are the perfect treat when a late-night craving hits. They’re quick and easy to make and satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.
The Nutella Cheesecake Pie with an Oreo crust is a Nutella lover’s dream. This is also the easiest Nutella cheesecake ever because it is completely no-bake and requires just a handful of ingredients!
What do you get when you combine peanut butter, chocolate, pretzels, or Rice Krispies in a simple no-bake dessert recipe? You get one happy family of taste testers.
I’ve shared my family’s Peanut Butter Balls (aka Buckeyes) recipe here before (and it’s one of my most popular recipes), but when you add pretzels or rice krispies to the mix? Things just get more delicious.

Can you tell me the measurements to make this cheese cake 500gm in weight
I don’t bake that way, so unfortunately I can’t help you with that.
Thanks for the recipe. Have made this several times, and it’s been loved by all my friends. My husband has specifically requested this for his birthday three years in a row.
My modifications: I increase the cream-cheese mixture to about 1.5 times the prescribed amount. Also, I often make mini-cheesecakes in 4-inch springform pans, they look super cute. Three of the mini-cheesecakes correspond to about a third of the given recipe amounts.
I’m thrilled to hear that you like the cheesecake!
I just made this for my family and everyone says it is their new favorite dessert! This is excellent! My oven is broken and we have 8 pounds of just-picked blueberries, so this was absolutely perfect. Great on a day when it was 100 degrees.
So delicious thank you! ?
Does homemade cream cheese work?
Wish I’d mixed the whip cream in with the cream cheese. The blueberries sank into the topping.
I mixed the whipping cream and cream cheese together then put the berries of your choice refrigerate until next day
Can i fold in the whip cream to the cream cheese mix?
Yes. I’ve made a variation that way as well.
Can i use canned whipped cream instead for the whipped topping? Thanks
I would try homemade whipped cream first. 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy cream equals 1 (8 oz) tub of cool whip. Just whip it up with 2-4 tablespoons of powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
So do we need 3 cups of heavy cream then or just 1.5 to equal 16oz as it doubles? Also, can we fold in/swirl the blueberry topping into the cream cheese mixture?
You’ll only need 1.5 cups of heavy cream in order to get the necessary 16 ounces.
Thank you!
What milk did u use?
Whole Milk. But 2% Would work too.
Can i use commercial whipped cream as well?
That should work as well.
Thank you for the recipe. My children helped me make this today and we can’t wait to taste it tonight!
Yes you can if you are talking about dream whip in the envelope
