Easy no bake blueberry cheesecake dessert! No-bake desserts come together quickly and don’t take as long as a regular cheesecake does.
I made this recipe back in 2015 and last Summer my aunt brought almost the exact same dessert to the lake cabin on the 4th of July. Almost forgot about it!! This dessert is so good it’s hard not to eat the whole pan in one sitting. You can make this in the Summer or Winter and use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t in season right now.
Also, I love that its no bake, so it comes together quickly. I almost prefer no bake cheesecakes over the ones that need to be baked in the oven because they take less time to make.
What Ingredients do I need?
In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients. I also will try and list out what the ingredients' purpose is for.
Graham Crackers - crushed
Butter - unsalted and melted
Cream Cheese - Reduced Fat or Fat Free, have this left out at room temperature before mixing
Greek Yogurt - this helps add more protein and to reduce the calories instead of adding more cream cheese
Lemon Juice - freshly squeezed
Blueberries - frozen or fresh

The crust you have to bake in the oven. If you don't want to do that use a store bought graham cracker pie crust. Thanks.
Carissa says
I am confused... How are these no bake, if you have to put them in the oven?
Can I use stevia instead of sugar? If so, is it 1:1?
Thank you in advance!

I am using graham cracker crumbs. How much makes five full sheets?
Jenna says
Thanks for letting me know, I updated the recipe!
Sandy Lewis says
Please list how much flour and vanilla need to be added to the cheese mixture. Also list the lemon zest.
Thanks so much.
Jenna says
I will update that, Thanks Megan!
Megan says
Just clarification....in the recipe you say melted coconut oil and also say mix in 1 egg at a time. The recipe posted shows melted butter and only 1 egg. Just want to make sure I have the correct ingredients before making this scrumptious dish!
