This No-Bake Cheesecake is a creamy, decadent dessert that comes together quickly, and is super easy! Mix up the topping to be cherry, strawberry or apple!
I love super easy dessert recipes, especially ones that look like I spent way more time and effort than I actually did. Yup, I’m all about the lazy, especially in the summertime. It’s already hit the 100s here in Phoenix, and I have zero desire to heat up my house by using the oven.
Just a quick blast in a food processor to make the crust, a hand mixer to blend up the filling, and that’s IT! Chill it for a few hours then top with some blueberry filling. Slice it, and devour!
This would be awesome for a summer barbecue, or Mother’s Day, or any time you need an impressive, delicious but super easy dessert!
Kylee’s Notes & FAQs
- Make this into mini cheesecakes: Halve the recipe, and use a mini cheesecake pan. SO FUN AND CUTE!!
- You could use any kind of cookie for a crust – vanilla wafer cookies work really well as a base too!
- Use cherry pie filling or apple – if using apple – add a little cinnamon to the cheesecake batter.
We LOVE cheesecake, and dessert in general if I’m honest… but this was a massive hit with everyone! Exhibit H…
I can’t take credit for this recipe, it comes from my friend Lisa at Lisa’s Dinnertime Dish. I was given Lisa’s site for the Spring version of Freaky Friday. I knew as soon as I saw this Cheesecake, I would be making it. Over and over. Lisa’s original recipe is for Cherry Cheesecake, but on her recommendation, I switched out the cherry for blueberry to suit our tastes.
Ingredients in No-Bake Cheesecake:
- GRAHAM CRACKERS– this is the base/crust for the cheesecake. Use vanilla wafers instead if you want to!
- BUTTER – I use salted butter
- POWDERED SUGAR – pack this into the cup!
- VANILLA EXTRACT – use a good quality one – this is a key flavor in the pudding
- CREAM CHEESE – use full fat, the reduced fat one will work, but won’t taste as good.
- BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING – this is not the same as canned blueberries. It is a specific product that is thickened already and will hold shape when glopped (yes that’s a word) onto the cheesecake.
How to make No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
(Full printable recipe card below, just scroll down!)
- Crush graham crackers in a food processor or blender until you have a fine crumb.
- Pour melted butter into processor and pulse until incorporated with graham cracker crumbs.
- Press crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan, making sure it’s firmly packed.
- Refrigerate crust while you prepare the rest of the cheesecake. This will chill the butter and help firm up the crust.
- Combine cream cheese, cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl.
- Beat with a mixer until completely creamy and the mixture is stiff.
- Pour cream cheese mixture into crust and spread until even.
- Refrigerate at least two hours.
- Top with blueberry pie filling.

Can I double the recipe and put it in a 9×13 or 11 x14 pan?
Kylee says
I am a huge fan of doubling everything from garlic to vanilla in all things. However, I haven’t doubled this one yet. I bet it would work great as cheesecake bars vs slices in a typical pie pan.
H🤍✨ says
Can I use strawberry filling instead of blueberry filling

Cindy says

Hi. Thanks for this recipe! Totally saved me. I’m just wondering what’s the size of the pan to be used? Thanks!

What measurement is 18 graham crackers if using crumbs?
Kylee says
Around 2 cups of crumbs
Jenelle says
Is it okay to use tupperware instead of pan?
Kylee says
sure, since we don’t bake it – you could use tupperware. You would just have a little trouble slicing and removing it, but it will still be good!
JE says
