It's no secret that we love cheesecake. And we think this frozen, mini, no-bake version should be declared the official dessert of summer! This blueberry lemon version is cool, light, refreshing, and pretty much everything you could ask for in a dessert. Get the recipe from Leesh and Lu on www.orsoshesays.com today!

Lemon Blueberry No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Servings 12 cheesecakes

Ingredients

  • For the filling:
  • 1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup whipping cream whipped
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • zest and juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • For the crust:
  • 1 package graham crackers 9 full-sized crackers, crushed
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • For the berry sauce:
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries mashed
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 - 2/3 cup water or fruit juice depending on the consistency you like
  • 1-2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 14-16 baking cups

Instructions

  1. Line a muffin tin with baking cups. For the filling combine cream cheese, whipping cream, powdered sugar, blueberries, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a blender and blend until smooth and well-combined. The mixture will be pretty thick. Distribute filling evenly among baking cups*, leaving room at the top of each one for graham cracker crust. Give the muffin tin a few good taps on the counter top to remove air bubbles.
  2. Make the graham cracker crust by combining graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Scoop a heaping tablespoon full on to each cheesecake cup. Press down firmly to pack.
  3. To make the berry sauce, combine berries, sugar, water or juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat until thickened. Add water to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Cover with foil and freeze for a 3+ hours, or up to a week. When ready to serve, invert each cup onto a serving plate and pull the liner off. Allow to thaw/soften for 5-10 minutes before serving. Top with berry sauce and serve.

Recipe Notes

* You definitely can spoon the mixture in, but we like to put it all into a gallon sized bag and pipe it into the cups to make it quick and clean.
