How to make No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars

1.) In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, butter, and sugar. Stir until all of the butter has been soaked into graham cracker crumbs.

2.) Transfer the mixture to a 13×9 baking dish and press it into the bottom. It should spread to all the edges and be compacted enough to hold together. Set aside.

3.) In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and sugar. Beat together with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add in the vanilla and sour cream. Beat again to incorporate.

4.) Switch to a rubber spatula and fold in the cool whip thoroughly. Pour over the graham cracker crust and smooth it out with the rubber spatula. Pour the blueberry pie filling on top and carefully spread it to all edges.

5.) Chill for at least 2 hours before slicing into squares and serving.

What happens if my cream cheese isn’t softened?

If you don’t get your cream cheese to room temp, it’s not going to be silky and smooth in your recipe. And the last thing that people want when they’re eating cheesecake it to have lumps of cream cheese in each and every bite.

If you try to mix up cream cheese that is too cold, it’s not going to get to that creamy texture that is needed for this cheesecake recipe.

What other toppings go well with cheesecakes?

There are so many great cheesecake toppings to choose from! While blueberries tend to be the most popular, strawberry and cherry toppings are right there, too.

Fruit toppings are always a good idea for cheesecakes! They bring in a lot of flavors and fun coloring as well. Some people might prefer plain cheesecake too and that is a great taste also.

What we’ve found when it comes to our cheesecake topping favorites is that they tend to change with whatever is ripe during the time that we make it. And to be honest, we’ll never turn down the chance to make a cheesecake just to try out a new topping or two!

If you’re looking for a simple cheesecake recipe that doesn’t require you to turn on your oven, these No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Bars are just what you’ve been waiting for!
