This no-bake cheesecake is everything I want in a summer dessert. It’s creamy, decadent, and so easy to make. You get a buttery graham cracker crust, a smooth and tangy filling, and a simple fruit topping that brings it all together.
I love dessert recipes that look impressive without needing a ton of effort. Especially when it’s already hitting the 100s here in Arizona, and I have absolutely no interest in turning on the oven. Check out some “vintage” shots of one of my boys eating this dessert, below!
A quick spin in the food processor for the crust, a few minutes with the hand mixer for the filling, and that’s it. Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours, then top with blueberry pie filling, slice it up, and enjoy.
It’s perfect for summer barbecues, Mother’s Day, or any time you want something sweet and easy. You can swap the topping for cherry, strawberry, or apple – whatever you’ve got on hand will work great.

We LOVE cheesecake, and dessert in general if I’m honest… but this was a massive hit with everyone! Exhibit H…
I can’t take credit for this recipe, it comes from my friend Lisa at Lisa’s Dinnertime Dish. I knew as soon as I saw this Cheesecake, I would be making it. Over and over. Lisa’s original recipe is for Cherry Cheesecake, but on her recommendation, I switched out the cherry for blueberry to suit our tastes.
Ingredients in No-Bake Cheesecake
The full list of ingredients and quantities is found in the printable recipe card below.
- Graham crackers. This is the base/crust for the cheesecake. Use vanilla wafers instead if you want to!
- Butter. I use salted butter.
- Powdered sugar. Pack this into the cup!
- Vanilla extract. Use a good quality one. This is a key flavor in the pudding.
- Cream. I use heavy whipping cream in my cheese cake.
- Cream cheese. Use full fat. The reduced fat one will work, but won’t taste as good.
- Blueberry pie filling. This is not the same as canned blueberries. The blueberry topping is a specific product that is thickened already with cornstarch and will hold shape when glopped (yes that’s a word) onto the cheesecake. If you want to use fresh blueberries, you will need to cook them to make the blueberry sauce.

Make the crust
Crush graham crackers in a food processor or blender until you have a fine crumb.
Pour melted butter into processor and pulse until incorporated with graham cracker crumbs.
Press crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan, making sure it’s firmly packed.
Refrigerate crust while you prepare the rest of the cheesecake. This will chill the butter and help firm up the crust.
Make the cheesecake filling
Combine cream cheese, cream, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl.
Beat with a mixer until completely creamy and the mixture is stiff.
Pour cream cheese mixture into crust and spread until even.
Refrigerate at least two hours.
Top with blueberry pie filling.
Slice and devour.
