How to Make No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
Follow along with our pictures, step-by-step instructions, and expert tips to make the best no-bake cheesecake with blueberries. We’ll guide you through each step, from the crust to the creamy filling and sweet blueberry topping. Let’s get started and make this delicious dessert!
FIRST STEP: Put the graham cracker sheets in a food processor and process until they are fine crumbs.
Pro Tip
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.
SECOND STEP: Add the graham cracker crumbs to a medium bowl and mix in the melted butter and sugar.

THIRD STEP: 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.

FOURTH STEP: 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.

FIFTH STEP: Spoon the blueberry topping over the cream cheese layer, then spread it around with a rubber spatula to make sure it is entirely covered.
SIXTH STEP: 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.

Have graham cracker crumbs so how much do you use instead of using a sleeve? Can’t wait to make this! Thank you kindly.
Bailey says
There is about 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs in a sleeve. So you should need about 1 cup.
Shelly says
Thank you Bailey, I am making gluten-free and will be using crumbs. I am going to make it now 🙂
Kimberly Hartwell says
This was so yummy and had minimal effort. It would be easy to change this up with fresh or canned fruit depending on the season and your tastes.
Kel says
This is one of my Go To recipes, everybody loves it and it is so simple! One thing to consider is using cherries instead of blueberries, it gives the recipe some much needed tartness.
Shauna says
Hi Kel,
I love that idea of using cherries! That makes me want to try it with all sorts of berries and see how it turns out! I'm glad you love this recipe!
