Description
A no-bake Blueberry Cheesecake Icebox Cake made with fresh blueberry sauce, creamy lemon cheesecake filling, and layers of graham crackers for a chilled, refreshing dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 3 tsp. cornstarch
- 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 12 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
- 1/8 tsp. kosher salt
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 9 graham cracker sheets
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Sauce: In a medium pot over medium-high heat, combine blueberries, water, cornstarch, and 1/4 cup of confectioners’ sugar. Mash the berries slightly and cook for 6–8 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool.
- Make the Cheesecake Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, lemon zest, salt, and remaining 1/2 cup sugar until light and creamy. Add heavy cream and beat until fluffy with stiff peaks (2–3 minutes).
- Assemble the Cake: Line an 8 1/2” x 4 1/2” loaf pan with plastic wrap. Place 3 graham cracker sheets at the bottom. Add 1 cup of cheesecake mixture, followed by 1/2 cup blueberry sauce. Repeat with layers of graham crackers, cheesecake mixture, and blueberry sauce. Finish with graham crackers on top.
- Chill the Cake: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Unwrap, invert onto a platter, and peel off plastic. Frost with any remaining cheesecake mixture and drizzle with blueberry sauce before serving.
Notes
- Substitute dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream for a vegan version.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers for a gluten-free option.
- Sweeten with stevia or erythritol for a lower-sugar version.
- Try with strawberries, raspberries, or chocolate cream cheese for variations.
