Effortless No-Bake Blackberry Mint Cheesecake
This no-bake cheesecake features a creamy filling made with whipped cream cheese and fresh blackberries, all nestled in a buttery graham cracker crust. The addition of mint elevates the flavors, offering a refreshing twist that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the blackberries.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1 cup cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup fresh blackberries plus extra for topping
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
- Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, and mix 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.
- Add Flavors: Carefully fold in the blackberries, chopped mint, and vanilla extract until just combined, being careful not to break the blackberries too much.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust and spread it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
- Serve: Once set, carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Top with additional fresh blackberries and mint leaves for garnish. Slice and serve chilled.
