Blueberry Cheesecake (no bake)
Servings: 12-14
Ingredients:
Crust:
- 3 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tbsps. granulated sugar
- 1 cup butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 4 8oz blocks cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
- 4 tbsps. sour cream
- 4 tbsps. lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 2 tsps. granulated sugar for whipping cream
Blueberry Topping:
- 2/3 cup of water
- 2 Tbsps. freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 Tbsps. granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsps. cornstarch
- 8 cups fresh blueberries
Directions:
Blueberry Topping:
In a large saucepan, add water, lemon juice, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir over medium heat until cornstarch dissolves. Continue stirring until mixture thickens, approximately 1-2 minutes.
Add blueberries and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally and gently as they cook, approximately 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. I transferred to a bowl and placed in freezer to cool quickly. You could also cool in refrigerator.
Crust:
Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-size bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until well combined and moistened, then spread evenly over the parchment-lined baking pan. Place in freezer for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 35 minutes.
Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar on medium high until fluffy and smooth, scraping the bowl with a spatula as needed. Add sour cream and lemon juice and beat until well combined.
Clean beaters, and in a second bowl, add whipped cream and beat on medium-high speed, add 2 tsps. sugar, then beat until stiff peaks form.
With a spatula, fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, scraping bottom of the bowl as you go.
Pour half of the filling over the cooled crust. Spoon ½ of the cooled blueberry sauce over the first cheesecake layer.
Pour on the remaining cheesecake mixture and smooth out the top. Spoon and swirl blueberry sauce over the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hour, or overnight. Enjoy!
