Description
A creamy, sweet, and tangy no-bake dessert featuring blueberries and coconut, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup coconut cream, chilled
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for topping)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, shredded coconut, and ¼ cup powdered sugar. Add melted coconut cream and press into a lined 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Make the cheesecake filling by beating softened cream cheese until smooth, then adding the remaining ¼ cup powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
- Fold in the chilled coconut cream gently until well incorporated.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the crust, smooth the top, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries with a splash of lemon juice and 1–2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup. Cook for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and the mixture thickens slightly. Allow it to cool completely, then spoon the compote over the chilled cheesecake bars.
- Garnish with extra coconut flakes or fresh blueberries if desired, cut into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing no-bake treat. Cut into squares and serve.
