  • Serve as a snack or dessert
  • Make a tasty topping for ice cream
  • Cut into slices and share with friends
  • Enjoy with your favorite coffee, tea, or lemonade

Gathering Your Ingredients

  • Cinnamon Graham Crackers – These are the perfect base for no-bake cheesecake. Crush them up in a food processor or sealable bag. Use regular graham cracker crumbs if you’d like, i like the addition of cinnamon.

  • Butter – This helps to bind the crust together and gives it a rich flavor.

  • White Granulated Sugar – Sweetens up your no-bake cheesecake base

  • Cream Cheese – Full-fat room temperature cream cheese.

  • Cool Whip – Thawed whipped cream, try the extra creamy for an even smoother cheesecake. If your whipped topping is still frozen, place the entire unopened tub in a bowl of cool water for 30-40 minutes. 

  • Blueberry Pie Filling – Make this easy and buy a 21-ounce can of blueberry pie filling, or make your own. Let’s be honest, a homemade blueberry topping is going to be superior.

Kitchen Supplies I Use

How To Make No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

Line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper and set aside. Using a 9-inch springform pan will also work.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter for roughly 30 seconds or until melted.

In a food processor, add the graham cracker sheets. Pulse until they’re fine crumbs, then add your melted butter. Pulse to distribute the butter. The fine crumbs will start to stick to each other.

Press the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of your prepared pan. Make sure the crumb mixture is spread evenly. Place your pan into the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

In a large mixing bowl add the sugar and softened cream cheese, and cream together with a hand mixer. Once creamed together add the cool whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Mix to combine.

Place your cheesecake filling on top of the pressed graham crackers. Chill for 5-10 minutes in the fridge.

Gently spoon blueberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer and gently spread across then chill for at least 4 hours or in the fridge overnight.

Storage Recommendations

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight before serving.

No Bake Cheesecake Recipe Variations

I have to say blueberry cheesecake is one of my favorites, you can really customize this recipe to fit whichever flavor profile you like most. If blueberry pie filling isn’t your jam, try cherry, strawberry, or apple then top with your choice of fresh berries and fruit. Delish!

Yes, after chilling in the fridge for at least 4 hours this recipe should be served cold for best results!

Can I freeze this recipe?

Absolutely! This recipe can be frozen for up to 3 months – just make sure that it’s covered tightly so that no air gets in!

Expert Tips

Just a couple of tips to ensure your no-bake blueberry cheesecake experience is flawless.

  • Use full-fat block cream cheese instead of spreadable or pre-whipped. It will ensure that your filling is extra creamy and smooth!

  • Make sure that all ingredients are at room temperature before using them as this will help them mix together better giving you an overall smoother texture.

  • When pressing down the crust, make sure that it is firmly packed in the bottom of the pan so that it does not crumble when served. Use a glass to help press evenly into the bottom.
