Description
Blueberry Cheesecake Icebox Cake is a no-bake, refreshing dessert with creamy cheesecake filling, fresh blueberries, and a graham cracker crust. It’s an easy, no-fuss recipe that’s perfect for warm weather and special occasions.
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust layer. Set aside.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside. In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it’s fully combined and smooth.
Assemble the cake: Spread a layer of the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust. Add a layer of fresh blueberries over the cheesecake filling. Repeat the layering process, alternating between the cheesecake mixture and blueberries, until all ingredients are used up. Finish with a layer of blueberries on top.
Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set and chill.
Serve: Before serving, garnish with additional fresh blueberries if desired. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free version of the crust.
- For extra indulgence, you can add a drizzle of honey or a chocolate sauce on top.
- Feel free to swap blueberries for other fresh fruits like strawberries, raspberries, or mixed berries for a different flavor profile.
- If you prefer a thicker filling, you can mix in a tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling.
