Granulated sugar	¼ cup

Creamy No-Bake Filling

Ingredient	Amount
Full-fat cream cheese, softened	16 oz (2 blocks)

Pure vanilla extract	1 tsp
Fresh lemon juice	1 tbsp
Heavy whipping cream, very cold	1½ cups

Blueberry Topping

Blueberry pie filling or homemade blueberry compote	1 can (21 oz)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until evenly moistened.

Transfer the mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even surface.

Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up the crust.

Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a chilled mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Transfer the whipped cream to another bowl and refrigerate while preparing the filling.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In the same mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 4: Fold Everything Together

Add approximately one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture and gently stir to lighten it.

Add the remaining whipped cream and carefully fold it in using a spatula until no streaks remain.

Tip: Fold gently rather than stirring vigorously to maintain the light, airy texture created by the whipped cream.

Step 5: Chill and Set

Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust and smooth the top with a spatula.

Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until fully set.

Step 6: Add the Topping and Serve

Before serving, carefully run a thin knife around the inside edge of the pan and remove the springform ring.

Spread the blueberry pie filling evenly over the top of the cheesecake.

Slice with a warm knife for clean cuts and serve chilled.

Helpful Tips

• Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for the smoothest filling.
• Use very cold whipping cream for maximum volume when whipping.
• Allow sufficient chilling time to ensure the cheesecake sets properly.
• Clean and warm the knife between slices for a neat presentation.

This creamy, berry-topped cheesecake offers all the elegance of a bakery-style dessert with minimal effort and no oven required.
