The only thing I can think of that’s better than a traditional creamy cheesecake is this no-bake blueberry cheesecake. The delicious dessert includes all the sweet flavor and goodness of blueberries and smooth cheesecake, with a simple-to-make recipe that will be a huge hit.
No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 9 graham cracker sheets (one sleeve)
- 1⁄2 cup of melted butter
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 16 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 8-ounce container of Cool Whip
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
- 1 can (21 ounces) of blueberry pie filling
Substitutions And Additions
BLUEBERRY PIE FILLING: You can also try different flavors of pie filling here to give a completely different flavor to this no-bake dessert.
Cherry would be a great one to try, or peach pie filling would also be delicious. You can even get a mixed berry pie filling to use.
CHOCOLATE: If you are a chocolate fan, you can always add a layer of melted chocolate immediately above the buttery graham cracker crust.
Melt some semi-sweet chocolate and pour on top, then pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to let it set before continuing the recipe.
BISCUIT BASE: if you can’t get graham crackers, you can use digestive biscuits in their place, and they work just as well.
WHIPPED TOPPING: For the creamy filling, you can either use a whipped topping such as Cool Whip or make your own homemade fresh whipped cream using our recipe found here.
How To Make This No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe
STEP ONE: Put the graham cracker sheets in a food processor and process until they are fine crumbs.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
To crush the graham crackers, you can either put them in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or pulse them in a food processor until they are fine crumbs.
STEP TWO: Add the graham cracker crumbs to a medium bowl and mix in the melted butter and sugar.
STEP THREE: Line an 8 x 8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Add the crumb mixture to the bottom of the pan and spread evenly, then press down to make the cheesecake base. Pop in the fridge to set.
STEP FOUR: In a large mixing bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the Cool Whip, powdered sugar, and lemon juice.
Mix with an electric mixer or stand mixer until smooth, then spread the cream cheese mixture onto the cooled cracker base. Pop back in the fridge for 5 minutes.
PRO TIP:
Make sure that you get the cream cheese up to room temperature and softened before you make the bars.
Otherwise, if the cheese is still cold and hard, it will go lumpy and not make that lovely creamy fluffy texture that is in a classic cheesecake filling.
STEP FIVE: Spoon the blueberry topping over the cream cheese layer, then spread it around with a rubber spatula to make sure it is entirely covered.
STEP SIX: Pop back in the fridge one last time and chill for 4 hours before serving.
PRO TIP:
Don’t skip the chilling step! The time is needed for your cheesecake to firm up and make it easier to cut.
How To Serve
For an even more yummy blueberry flavor, top with fresh blueberries or other fresh summer berries before serving.
For an extra indulgent treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.

Layne Kangas says
You can totally do that! Enjoy 🙂

Can I use any other cream besides cool whip?
Layne Kangas says
Yes, you could use homemade whipped cream if you’d prefer. Enjoy!
Gloria says
This is the best dessert!
Deby says
How much does 1 sleeve of graham equal?
I’m making mine gluten free, and could only find Graham style crumbs.
Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

Hi, Deby – it should be 1.5 cups crushed. Enjoy!

Karen Crosby says
This would be perfect for my friend for their birthday party. Cheese cake is more special than ordinary cake.
Corrie Taliaferro says
Love this recipe. So simple and so tasty. I think I might try adding some lemon zest to the filling; we love blueberry and lemon together. White chocolate shavings on top would look fancy as well!
Roberta Ryan says
Love this dessert! We’ve had it with blueberry or cherry pie filling and both are delicious!
Eileen says
I would leave recipe as is but add white chocolate drizzle to the top with some toasted almonds or walnuts.
Rose says
Love this, so easy and simple to do, I might add chocolate or maybe try strawberry instead of blueberry, but this is the kind of recipe where you can find a lot of different variations and it’s still awesome.
Jenn says
This looks amazing! I think I’m going to make this for a cookout this weekend. I wouldn’t change a thing. The shaved white chocolate does sound good but it also seems sweet with all the sugar so I don’t think it’s needed.
Toni says
Love this recipe. I make it with lemon pie filling on top.
Lydia says
Sounds good as itis. Another option a lemon creamcheese since blueberries and lemon go hand in hand. Would not add chocolate etc. Walnuts in the base another great option.
Teri Shipley says
I may add white chocolate shavings to it but it would be more for looks than for flavor.
Pamela Minor says
I would add white chocolate shavings on top😁
Constance Dawson says
I would definitely out white chocolate shavings on the top of it!
Victoria Madeline Zilai says
I would defiantly add strawberry preserves as another ingredient !!!!!
Edwin McGee says
Looks yummy. I really think the addition of chocolate would overpower the blueberries. I’d also be tempted to make this with doctored up apple pie filling. It is getting to be Fall.
Crystal says
I think white chocolate shavings on top sounds delicious!!!
Cara MacLaurin says
I would definitely try a few different pie filling flavors like peach and strawberry
Deborah Bearden says
I definitely would add white chocolate shavings on top! 🥰
Maria says
I would certainly try cherry and even pineapple or peaches as an alternative to the blueberry just for something different. Looks really delish. One to try definitely
Brett Ashford says
I made my own blueberry sauce to go on top… less sugar that store bought pie filling. Pie filling can be too sweet…
Stephanie says
I will definitely be making this with White Chocolate shavings on top. Making cheesecakes is one of my specialties I love to do❤️😋❤️😋
Kelly Kardos says
Oohhhh we’re in the middle of a heat wave so I’d serve this after a light dinner
Teresa says
Add white chocolate, and try different flavors (peach).
Morgan says
Definitely going to be trying this and bringing it to our Labor Day cookout this weekend! I think I’ll try it with half blueberry and half lemon pie filling!
Janee Nichols says
Look forward to making this soon. I would probably serve this cheesecake with fresh strawberries or even peaches. There are so many fruit possibilities you could even skip the fruit and drizzle with any chocolate, caramel or even peanut butter.
Stephanie says
Great recipe. Change it up by substituting raspberry pie filling instead of blueberry, and drizzle chocolate syrup on the top to serve. It’s delicious.
Cecilia says
i think I would like to try adding coconut cream (instead of the cool whip) and lime juice (instead of lemon) and zest to the filling and topping with mint leaves and toasted coconut as a topping no chocolate this time.
The blueberry filling looks good though.
Jennifer Purgason says
This recipe sounds & looks amazing!! I would serve this to my family anytime!
Julia Bailey says
I would change the blueberry filling to blackberry and make the crust out of a mild lemon cracker (not one with filling) and then just sprinkle some of the crumbs on top.
no white chocolate or chocolate.
Maureen says
I definitely love cheesecake and no bake is even better. Blueberries are one of my favorites so I definitely would make this. It would be a great dessert after a cookout on a hot day. I would definitely make this with raspberry pie filling and have shaved while chocolate on top.
Will definitely be making this soon.
Donna Hepburn says
Our family LOVES cheesecake (And I love the easy, no-bake kind). I will definitely try this recipe!

You could substitute coconut oil for the butter, and maple syrup for the sugar. Looks delicious! I Just bought some of your ebooks, looking forward to making all the recipes.
