No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
2. Add powdered sugar gradually and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing on medium speed until the mixture thickens slightly and forms soft peaks. If desired, fold in lemon zest for a subtle zing.
4. Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 3: Prepare the Blueberry Topping

1. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
2. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries release their juices and the mixture becomes slightly syrupy.
3. If a thicker topping is desired, add the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1–2 minutes until thickened. Let it cool slightly.
4. Pour the blueberry topping over the cheesecake filling, spreading it evenly.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

1. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the filling to set perfectly.
2. Release from the springform pan, slice with a clean, sharp knife, and serve chilled.

Tips for Success

• Room temperature cream cheese ensures a silky, lump-free filling.
• Chill time is crucial — rushing it may result in a cheesecake that’s too soft.
• Experiment with toppings: raspberries, strawberries, or a mixed berry compote work beautifully.
• Optional garnish: fresh mint leaves or lemon zest for an elegant finish.
