No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake Recipe
This No-Bake Blackberry Cheesecake features a smooth and creamy filling nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. Topped with a vibrant blackberry sauce, it offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess that will leave your taste buds longing for more.
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups fresh blackberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Optional: additional blackberries for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to create an even layer. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Prepare the Blackberry Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Allow it to cool.
- Serve: Once the cheesecake is set, remove it from the springform pan. Drizzle the blackberry sauce over the top and garnish with additional blackberries if desired. Slice and enjoy!
