Cheesecake has been around for a long time. The earliest history dates back to ancient Greece, then brought to New York with great popularity in the 1900s.

In this recipe, I create a fluffy, creamy no-bake cheesecake with layers of delicious graham cracker crust in just minutes! This amazing cheesecake dessert is perfect for entertaining, and is a definite crowd pleaser!

No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Cups
Equipment
- 6 oz jars or cups
Ingredients
- 1 sleeve graham crackers about 9 crackers
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream room temperature
- 1 block cream cheese room temperature
- 1 lemon zest of one medium lemon separated
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries (room temperature if they are frozen) or berries of choice
Instructions
- Set out whipping cream, cream cheese, (and berries if they are frozen) to be brought to room temperature.
- In a Nutri-Bullet or blender blend the graham crackers up until they are a fine powder. Pour into a small bowl and add the melted butter and mix well. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl with a hand mixer blend up the block of cream cheese until its creamy and smooth.
- Add one cup of whipping cream and mix the cream cheese and whipping cream together for about 5-7 minutes. (you want the whipping cream to get fluffy)
- Add in the vanilla, sugar, most of the lemon zest, (just leave a little to garnish the top with) and the berries and blend together until smooth. Taste the mixture and make sure it is sweet enough for your taste.
- Time to assemble.
- In small jars or cups (I use 6 oz jars) Put a layer of graham cracker mix on the bottom of each cup and press down.
- Fill cups about 1/2 way with cheesecake mixture. Then add another small layer of graham crackers. I left about a tablespoon of graham cracker mix to sprinkle on the top.
- Top each jar with the remaining cheesecake mix.
- Make them pretty by topping with berries, a touch of lemon zest, and a sprinkle of graham cracker.
