Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/2 cup blueberry pie filling (for topping)
Instructions
Combine graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill the crust for 15 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined.
Mix in the lemon juice and vanilla extract until the filling is smooth.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust and spread evenly.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm.
Before serving, carefully remove the sides of the springform pan. Spoon the blueberry pie filling over the top of the cheesecake.
Notes
For a cleaner slice, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.
If you do not have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen, thawed blueberries, but drain them well before folding them into the filling.
This is a great summer sweet option when you want a heat-free recipe.
