Gorgeous, wild blueberries…
Silky, smooth cheesecake…

At least for a few moments! ;0)
My husband is a major cheesecake fan, but we both enjoy the simple taste of a home-made, no-bake version.
I enjoy it because it’s a luxurious treat without all the hassle…
My husband enjoys it because it’s cheesecake — and it’s a cheaper version of the traditional baked cheesecake.

Here’s our BEST no-bake cheesecake tips for the perfect cheesecake!
Best Tips for Blueberry Cheesecake
Soften the Cream Cheese.
Always use softened cream cheese.
This allows the cheese to blend more thoroughly.
No one wants small chunks of cream cheese buried in cheesecake!
Whipping Cream is Magical.
Add whipping cream to your cheesecake mixture.
This gives an even smoother and more silky texture to a cheesecake.
Freeze or Bake Your Crust.
If you have an extra 15 minutes, freezing or baking your crust for 10 minutes will to ensure that delicious, buttery crust crumbles don’t get mixed into the cheesecake layer.
Be patient.
Don’t stop mixing until your cheesecake is gorgeously smooth!
Fold in your berries.
Berries need to be treated with care.
Gently fold them in. Don’t mix them in.
Add a dash of lime or lemon.
Sometimes a cheesecake snob may not think a cheesecake made with sour cream is quite tart enough.
Add a few splashes of lemon or lime juice and you’ve added just the right touch of tartness!
