Ingredients You’ll Need

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs: These provide the buttery base for your pie. For a twist, try using honey or chocolate graham crackers.
1/3 cup granulated sugar: This sweetens the crust and balances the tanginess of the cream filling.
6 tablespoons melted butter: It binds the crust together for the perfect crunch. Unsalted butter works best.
8 ounces cream cheese, softened: Essential for that rich, creamy filling. Make sure it’s at room temperature for easy blending.
1 cup powdered sugar: Adds sweetness and a smooth texture to the filling.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A must-have for enhancing flavor. Always choose pure vanilla for the best taste.
1 tablespoon lemon juice: Brightens the filling and complements the blueberries beautifully.
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream: Gives your filling an airy lightness. Ensure it’s cold for the best whip.
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries: The star of the show! Fresh gives a bright flavor, while frozen can be more convenient and just as delicious.
1/4 cup granulated sugar: For the blueberry topping to enhance natural sweetness.
1 tablespoon lemon juice: Adds zest, balancing the sweetness from the sugar.
1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with 2 tablespoons water): This thickens the blueberry mixture for a luscious topping.
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Again, to enhance the flavor of the blueberry topping.

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie (No-Bake)

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and 6 tablespoons melted butter. Stir until mixed well. Firmly press this mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch deep pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until blended.
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, add 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream. Whip until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Assemble the Pie: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Return the pie to the refrigerator while you prepare the blueberry topping.
Cook the Blueberries: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until the berries release their juices. You can mash them slightly for a lovely texture or leave them whole.
Thicken the Topping: Stir in the cornstarch slurry and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Remove from heat, then stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Let the blueberry mixture cool completely.
Finish the Pie: Once the blueberry topping is cool, spoon it over the cheesecake layer, spreading it evenly.
Chill: Cover the pie and chill in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight, allowing it to fully set.

Storing & Reheating

Store any leftover Blueberry Cream Cheese Pie (No-Bake) in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container. If you’d like to freeze it, slice the pie and wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap and foil. It can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy it, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Depending on how it’s stored, the texture may change slightly, but topping with fresh blueberries can refresh its appearance and flavor.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

Avoid overmixing the cream cheese; it’s best to combine it just until smooth to prevent a dense filling.
For the most impressive pie, chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up beautifully.
If you prefer a thicker topping, allow the blueberry mixture to cook a bit longer to increase the concentration of flavors and sweetness.
Use fresh blueberries for a brighter burst of flavor, but frozen are perfectly suitable if fresh isn’t available.
This pie can be made a day or two in advance, making it a perfect option for busy gatherings.
