This tasty no bake blueberry cheesecake is made from scratch and without any gelatin. It’s made with Oreo cookie crust, blueberry cream cheese layer and fresh blueberries.

This is a small-batch cheesecake recipe, but it can be easily doubled, if needed.

Do you need gelatin for cheesecake?

No, you don’t need to use it. This is a gelatin-free cheesecake recipe.

How to make no bake blueberry cheesecake

The whole process is easy. First, make the base – in this case Oreo cookies are crushed and combined with a pinch of salt and melted butter.

This step is pretty quick and does not require any special utensils or kitchen gadgets so if you don’t have a food processor, don’t worry! You can still make this no bake blueberry cheesecake.

Just use a rolling pin and a Ziploc bag instead.

Next step is making the blueberry cream cheese layer by combining the cream cheese with sugar, blueberry jam and vanilla extract. I use an electric mixer and it takes about a minute (or less) to combine everything together.

Now you need to fold in whipped cream. You have to whip it yourself until stiff peaks form. Don’t use the one that you just spray on top of ice cream or cakes. That one will not work here.

Spread this cream cheese mixture over, cover with cling film and refrigerate. You can make it ahead and leave it in the fridge overnight.

How long does cheesecake take to set?

The times may vary depending on the ingredients you use. Some fillings may be thicker than others. Usually, a gelatin is used to set this dessert.

This no bake cherry cheesecake needs to sit for 3 hours in the fridge. After this time, you can serve it, if you like. It will be soft but will hold its shape well.
