Blueberries are so versatile…bake them in muffins, throw them on salads or eat them plain! Today I’m sharing a blueberry sauce to be topped on a creamy, no bake cheesecake.
No Bake Cheesecake
You guys, this cheesecake is extreme! Thick graham cracker crust, a big pile of cheesecake and topped with a sweet blueberry sauce. It’s the best no bake cheesecake recipe with the perfect creamy-fruity combination. You can call it “cheesecake bars” because it’s put into a pan and cut into squares instead of a springform pan.
But what makes it no bake? When you see a recipe that says “no bake” – all that means is that you don’t have to use the oven at all. The crust, the filling, none of it goes into the oven. You don’t have to heat up your house, you don’t have to wait around for the oven, it’s an easy way to make a really good cheesecake.

Can this be frozen?
Made this last night. Followed the directions to a tee and came out great. Big hit at my family bbq!
I would suggest whipping the heavy whipping cream before mixing it in. What a mess lol
DO YOU WHIP THE CREAM FIRST OR ADD THE THE CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE W/O WHIPPING FIRST???
My step-mother makes a similar dessert to this and its supposed to not be “Hard” like cheesecake, but it shouldn’t be soupy either! Hers doesn’t have the topping, so that was awesome. I also mixed some frozen blueberries into my cream cheese mixture to give it an extra dimension.
Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
oh and I added 1tsp of lemon juice instead of almond extract, since my son has a nut allergy
Waste of ingredients! My cheesecake filling was soupy and I followed the directions exactly.
Oh no! Sounds like the cream needed to mixed longer. Bummer :(
The flavor of these are good, and it’s super easy. However mine turned out more like a cream than a solidified cheesecake. Not sure what I did wrong….it chilled in the fridge for several hours. Thoughts?
please see the comment I posted. Its supposed to be more Creamy than hard like cheesecake
Lauren, I wonder if the whipping cream was not whipped enough? That would definitely make a difference. Like Jennifer said, it will be creamier rather than hard.
These blueberry cheesecake bars sound delicious! Plus no-bake desserts are the best, especially during this time of the year :).
