Absolutely — Blueberry Cheesecake is a dreamy, creamy dessert with a buttery crust, rich cheesecake filling, and a sweet blueberry topping that brings it all together. You can make it baked or no-bake — I’ll give you the classic baked version first, then note the no-bake option below.


💜 Classic Baked Blueberry Cheesecake

🕒 Prep: 25 min | Bake: 55 min | Chill: 4 hrs+

🍽️ Serves: 10–12


🍪 Crust Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

  • Pinch of salt


🍰 Cheesecake Filling

  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup sour cream

  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional, but brightens it up)


🫐 Blueberry Topping

  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

  • ¼ cup sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp cold water


🔥 Instructions

1. Make the Crust

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  • Combine graham crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter.

  • Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.

  • Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.


2. Make the Filling

  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth (no lumps).

  • Add sugar, beat again.

  • Beat in eggs, one at a time.

  • Mix in vanilla, sour cream, and lemon zest.

  • Pour filling over crust.


3. Bake the Cheesecake

  • Place springform pan on a baking sheet.

  • Bake at 325°F for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is just set (it may jiggle slightly).

  • Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let it rest inside for 1 hour.

  • Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.


4. Make the Blueberry Topping

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

  • Cook until berries start to release juices.

  • Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook 1–2 minutes until thickened.

  • Let cool completely, then spoon over chilled cheesecake.


✅ Tips

  • Wrap the pan in foil and bake in a water bath for a smoother top and no cracks (optional, but professional touch).

  • For a smoother texture, use room-temp ingredients.

  • The cheesecake keeps up to 5 days in the fridge or 3 months frozen (without topping).


🍰 No-Bake Version (Quick Overview)

  • Mix 2 cups crushed graham crackers + ½ cup butter for crust.

  • Filling: Beat 16 oz cream cheese + 1 cup powdered sugar + 1 tsp vanilla, then fold in 1½ cups whipped cream or Cool Whip.

  • Chill for 4 hours, then top with blueberry compote.
