How long does the cheesecake need to set in the fridge?

For best results, refrigerate the No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together, creating the perfect creamy texture. The longer you let it set, the better it tastes!

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can absolutely use frozen blueberries! However, they may release more juice while cooking, so consider cooking them down a bit longer to thicken the mixture. Be sure to let them thaw before incorporating them into the cheesecake.

What can I use instead of graham crackers for the crust?

If you're looking to switch things up, you can use digestive biscuits, crushed cookies, or gluten-free alternatives. You could also consider using crushed nuts or oats mixed with melted butter for a different flavor and texture.

How can I make this cheesecake light and fluffy?

To achieve a light and airy texture, ensure you whip the cream until stiff peaks form before folding it into the cream cheese mixture. Be gentle while folding to maintain the fluffiness. Room temperature cream cheese also blends more smoothly, aiding in a creamy consistency.

Can this cheesecake be made ahead of time?

Absolutely! This cheesecake is perfect to make ahead. You can prepare it a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator, making it ideal for hosting or special occasions. Just add any toppings shortly before serving for freshness.
