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 what is powdered sugar?
Depending on where you live, it might also be called icing sugar. It’s very finely ground sugar, often using for dusting baked goods or when sugar must be fully dissolved into fillings and sauces.
The only thing I did different i bought the ready made Philadelphia cream no bake cheese filling . Thanks I love easy I’m 85 and a cancer survivor. Thanks
I’m glad you like it!
Can you use philadelphia creamcheese filling?
I’ve never tried that, Kathleen.
Absolutely delicious!!
I cut the sugar in half and added a little Truvia.
I’m thrilled it’s a hit!
May I use frozen blueberries for this?
Yes, frozen berries will work fine.
If I already bought the pie crust made and all I want to know is it ok to put the cream cheese and the blueberries mix them together and then put it on the crust will that work or not ? Cuz everything is already made?
If your pie crust is fully cooked (or a graham cracker crust, as recommended in the recipe) that should work fine.
Disappointed with end result and I made REAL whipped creme! Needs more creme cheese and only one can of blueberry pie filling for the top.. blueberry was overwhelming so you couldn’t even taste middle creme cheese.. I baked my crust which sort of saved it.
Hi Kay, it sounds like you changed this recipe up a good bit from the instructions here. No bake cheesecake recipes are formulated to work with whipped topping (i.e. cool whip) there is a stabilizer in them that helps set the cheesecake. Unfortunately, “real whipped cream” would have collapsed and wouldn’t have stood a chance of creating the desired cheesecake texture.
Yummmmmmmmmm!!! Make it!!
I’m so glad you like it!
This no-bake blueberry cheesecake looks absolutely delightful! The creamy filling, vibrant blueberry topping, and buttery graham cracker crust make it a perfect treat for any occasion. Can’t wait to try it!
My daughter said “This is magical! This is the best you made.” I would agree. I’ve been making no bake desserts lately and this is the best. Thank you!
I’m thrilled it was a hit!
