It’s blueberry season!  Are you loving it as much as I am?!

And since it’s late summer, who couldn’t use a delicious, EASY, no bake recipe that’s perfect to make ahead of time for parties, barbecues, or a light, cool treat to finish off a summer meal?

This no bake blueberry cheesecake looks a little fancy, because I made it in a pretty tart pan (I LOVE pretty tart pans – they make easy desserts look so impressive!).

But you can easily make it in a springform pan, a pie plate or an 8X8 baking dish.

You can even make this recipe into a no bake blueberry pie or no bake blueberry bars or squares or mini tarts!

A few simple ingredients that you probably have on-hand + fresh summer berries + absolutely NO baking + perfect results when made ahead of time = a winning summer dessert, in my books.

Also, in case you’re wondering, this is a no-bake blueberry cheesecake, without gelatin.

Easy No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake – Step-by-Step Instructions

Ingredients for easy no bake blueberry cheesecake

Ingredients for Easy No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

Ingredients for graham cracker crust

Mix graham crumbs, sugar, salt and melted butter in a small bowl.

Pressing graham crust into tart pan

Press firmly into your tart pan, springform pan, pie plate or baking dish.  Normally you don’t want to press too hard, but because we won’t be baking this cheesecake we want to make sure the crust is firmly packed.  Chill at least 30 minutes.

Tip: Use a small measuring cup to press the crumbs firmly and evenly into the pan.

Pureed blueberries in Food Processor.

Puree blueberries in a food processor until pretty smooth.  Set aside in a dish or measuring cup.  It will probably gel a bit (that’s okay!).

Whipped cream in bowl

Whip very cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.  Set aside for a few minutes.

Whipped cream cheese

Whip room temperature cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy.

Tip: If your cream cheese is cold, open the package and cut it into small cubes.  Spread it on a dinner plate and it should soften within a few minutes at room temperature.

Cream cheese mixture with blueberry puree

Mix 1 cup of blueberry puree into the cream cheese mixture.

Fold whipped cream into blueberry cheesecake filling

Gently fold whipped cream into blueberry cream cheese mixture.

No bake blueberry cheesecake ready to chill

Spoon into chilled crust, smooth out and chill for at least 6 hours (even better – overnight).

No bake blueberry cheesecake, ready to serve

Top with additional whipped cream if you like (I like).

Serve cold.

Enjoy! 🙂

Easy No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake – Common Questions / Answers:

Can I use a ready made crust for this?

Yes!  You can definitely save time and energy by using a ready made crust if you want to.

Can I use other berries for this no bake cheesecake?

Blueberries are higher in pectin than other berries, which means that they form a thick gel more easily.  Other berries might not set up as well as the blueberries.

You could give it a try, but you might need to freeze the cheesecake if it doesn’t set well. 

If you end up trying it please let me know!

I don’t have a tart pan – what else can I use?

This is a pretty forgiving recipe – you can use almost any type of pan – a springform pan, a pie plate, a 8×8 baking dish, even make individual mini blueberry cheesecake parfaits in mason jars or wine glasses or mini tart shells.

    May I ask what kind of sugar you use in the cream cheese filling? Powdered sugar? Caster sugar? Granulated sugar? Thank you 🙂

      Hi Hieth, I haven’t tried it but feel like it might not freeze well. No bake cheesecake is less dense than traditional cheesecake and I feel like it might not hold up well to freezing and thawing. That being said, if you try it, please let me know! Maybe I’m wrong! I know someone who made it in individual muffin cups and something like that might freeze a little better. I’ll be sure to test it this summer and update the post 🙂

      Hi Sulagna, thanks for trying this recipe. I’m so glad you liked it! You could try keeping the two parts separate, but I’ve never done it so I have no idea how it would work out. Part of what helps this no bake cheesecake gel without gelatin is that blueberries are high in pectin. If you need the two parts separate you might have more luck with a different recipe. If you do try it please let us know how it worked out! Best of luck! 🙂

    I am looking for a recipe to make miniature cheesecakes. Do you know if this recipe will work if I use cupcake tins instead? And if I do, will I be able to remove the wrapper so that they look more eye appealing?

      Hi Anna! I think that this recipe should definitely work to make mini cheesecakes (with the disclaimer that I haven’t tried it yet, myself). However, I think you might be better off choosing a pretty cupcake wrapper that you like the look of, as opposed to trying to remove it after. If you really have your heart set on removing the wrapper, make sure they’re super chilled before you try it – the chilled butter is what holds the crust together in this recipes (because it’s not baked). Good luck! Let me know how it works out for you! 🙂
