Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 2 cups graham crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- For the Cheesecake Layer:
- 24 oz (750g) cream cheese (softened)
- 4 cups Cool Whip (or stabilized whipped cream)
- 1 1/4 cups icing sugar (powdered sugar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- For the Blueberry Topping:
- 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Blueberry Topping:
- In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and water.
- Simmer over low heat for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until needed.
- Make the Graham Crust:
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine graham crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix thoroughly.
- Press the mixture evenly onto the bottom of the springform pan, using the back of a spoon to ensure it is compact.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the cheesecake layer.
- Create the Cheesecake Layer:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until fluffy.
- Add Cool Whip, icing sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled graham crust.
- Assemble and Chill:
- Gently spread the cooled blueberry topping over the cheesecake layer, ensuring even coverage.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for 3–4 hours, or until set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan.
- Slice into servings and serve chilled. Optionally garnish with whipped cream or additional fresh blueberries.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Allow the cheesecake to chill for at least 3 hours for the best texture; overnight chilling is even better.
- Compact the graham crust firmly to prevent crumbling when slicing.
- Customize the topping by swapping blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or a mixed berry blend.
