Can I use frozen blueberries for no bake blueberry cheesecake?

Yes, frozen blueberries work just fine for this recipe. You don’t need to thaw them first, but you should use slightly less water when making the topping since frozen berries release more liquid as they cook.

Why didn’t my no-bake cheesecake fully set?

This usually means it didn’t chill long enough or the whipped cream was under-whipped. Make sure the cheesecake has at least 6 hours in the refrigerator and that the whipped cream reached stiff peaks before folding it into the filling.

Can I make no bake blueberry cheesecake ahead of time?

Absolutely, this cheesecake is ideal for making ahead. You can prepare it up to a day in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.

How do I know when no bake blueberry cheesecake is ready to slice?

The cheesecake is ready when the center feels firm to the touch and holds its shape when sliced. If it still looks soft or glossy in the middle, it needs more chilling time.

Instructions

Prepare the blueberry topping by whisking water, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch in a saucepan, then simmering with blueberries until thickened and glossy. Set aside to cool completely.
Make the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a lined springform pan. Chill until set.
Beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy, then mix in sour cream and lemon juice.
Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks in a separate bowl and gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until light and fully combined.
Spread half of the filling over the chilled crust, spoon some blueberry topping on top, and gently swirl.
Add the remaining filling, smooth the top, then swirl more blueberry topping over the surface.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set before slicing and serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to chill overnight for a firmer texture.
Frozen blueberries can be used without thawing; reduce the water slightly.
To freeze, wrap tightly and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
