Description

A light, creamy no-bake cheesecake swirled with a vibrant homemade blueberry sauce and set on a buttery graham cracker crust. This dessert is as gorgeous as it is delicious—and you don’t even need to turn on the oven.

Perfect for summer gatherings, holiday parties, or just a sweet weekend treat. It’s easy to make, naturally egg-free, and full of fresh, fruity flavor.


Ingredients

1. For the Crust:

  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

2. For the Blueberry Swirl:

  • 1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 teaspoon water (for slurry)

3. For the Filling:

 

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks


Instructions

  • Prepare the blueberry swirl: In a saucepan, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice over medium heat for 8–10 minutes until soft. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook another 2 minutes until thickened. Let cool completely.
  • Make the crust: Combine graham crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  • Make the filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice, beating until fluffy. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into the cream cheese mixture gently.
  • Assemble: Spread half of the filling over the crust. Spoon some blueberry sauce and swirl gently with a skewer or knife. Add remaining filling and repeat the swirl.
  • Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • Serve: Run a knife around the edge and release the springform. Garnish with fresh blueberries if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • Always use full-fat cream cheese and whip your cream to stiff peaks for best results.
  • Make the blueberry sauce ahead and let it cool before adding to the cheesecake.
  • Swirl lightly—don’t overmix or you’ll lose the marbled look.
  • For a citrus twist, add a little lemon zest to the filling.
