A simple, no-bake dessert featuring creamy cheesecake filling, a buttery graham cracker crust, and fresh blueberry topping. Perfect for summer and ready in under 20 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (150g)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (85g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled (240ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries (225g)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted unsalted butter. Stir until crumbs are moistened and mixture holds together when pressed, about 3 minutes.
  2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of crust mixture into each serving cup. Press down firmly and evenly to create a solid base. Refrigerate cups for at least 10 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes on medium speed. Add vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice, mixing until combined.
  4. In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  5. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula until no white streaks remain.
  6. Spoon or scoop cheesecake filling evenly over chilled crust in each cup, filling about 3/4 full. Smooth tops gently.
  7. In a small bowl, toss fresh blueberries with honey or maple syrup and optional lemon zest. Let sit for 5 minutes to macerate.
  8. Spoon blueberry topping over each cheesecake cup.
  9. Refrigerate assembled cups for at least 2 hours, ideally 4 hours or overnight, to let flavors meld and filling set.

Notes

Softened cream cheese is key to avoid lumps. Whip cream to soft peaks only to maintain airy texture. Press crust firmly to avoid crumbly base. Chill assembled cups for at least 2 hours for best texture. Can substitute crust with gluten-free or dairy-free options. Add lemon zest or toasted nuts for flavor variations.
