Ingredients for no bake blueberry cheesecake
- Cream cheese – Tangy, thick, and creamy, it’s the main ingredient to any great cheesecake.
- Sweetened condensed milk – Creamy and sweet milk flavor, easily found in the baking aisle of your major grocery store.
- Vanilla bean paste – Vanilla bean paste is a super concentrated vanilla product. You could substitute vanilla extract.
- Lemon – To cut through all of that sweetness, a fresh burst of citrusy lemon balances flavors.
- Graham cracker crusts – These pre-made versions are available in most major grocery stores in the baking aisle, or online.
- Fresh blueberries – Bursting with sweetness, and a little tart. I do not recommend using frozen here, fresh is best.
- Blueberry jam – Feel free to use homemade or your favorite store-bought variety.
- Fresh strawberries – To add a little something extra to our cheesecakes.
How to cut out strawberry stars
It’s so easy to take an extra minute or two, to cut out little strawberry stars and make this no-bake blueberry cheesecake look super impressive!
This mini star cookie cutter does all of the hard work, so you don’t have to!
Make ahead
No need to scramble at the last minute, these no-bake blueberry cheesecakes can be made ahead of time!
Follow the directions up until putting the fresh blueberries on top, and then you can keep these in the refrigerator for up to a day before finishing them off with the blueberry jam and strawberries.
Other jams
I stuck with blueberry jam to keep with the flavor profile and color, but raspberry or strawberry jam would also work well here!
I would suggest using the seedless varieties of either (these can easily be found in most major grocery stores).
Storage and leftovers
These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, if they last that long!
