Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
-
½ cup butter, melted
-
2 tablespoons sugar
For the Cheesecake Layer:
-
24 oz cream cheese, softened (3 packages or 750g)
-
4 cups Cool Whip (1L container)
-
1 ¼ cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
For the Blueberry Topping:
-
3 cups blueberries
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 ½ tablespoons cornstarch
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
½ cup water
Instructions
-
Prepare the crust: In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are fully coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan or springform pan. Refrigerate to set while preparing the cheesecake layer.
-
Make the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Continue to beat until fully combined. Gently fold in the Cool Whip until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
-
Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
-
Prepare the blueberry topping: In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
-
Top the cheesecake: Once the cheesecake is set, pour the cooled blueberry topping evenly over the top. Return to the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
-
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer a thicker crust, you can increase the amount of graham cracker crumbs.
The cheesecake can be topped with fresh blueberries or any berry of your choice.
This recipe is best when chilled for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for a firmer texture
