Description:

This no-bake cheesecake features a buttery graham cracker crust, a velvety cream cheese filling, and a beautiful topping of fresh peaches and blueberries. It’s the ultimate make-ahead dessert — cool, creamy, and full of bright, juicy flavor.


Origin:

Inspired by American no-bake cheesecakes and Southern fruit desserts, this version highlights seasonal peaches and blueberries for a naturally sweet and colorful finish.


Ingredients (Quantity):

For the Crust:

  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of ½ lemon (optional for brightness)

For the Topping:

  • 2–3 fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp honey or apricot jam, warmed (for glazing)
  • Optional: extra lemon zest or mint leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Make the Crust:

  • Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish.
  • Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to set.

2. Prepare the Filling:

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
  • Fold whipped cream into cream cheese, along with vanilla and lemon zest, until light and fluffy.
  • Pour filling over the chilled crust and smooth the top.
  • Chill for at least 6 hours or overnight.

3. Add the Fruit Topping:

  • Before serving, top cheesecake with sliced peaches and blueberries.
  • Warm honey or jam slightly and drizzle over fruit for a glossy finish.
  • Add lemon zest or mint leaves if desired.

Tips for Success:

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling.
  • Whip the cream until firm to help the cheesecake hold its shape.
  • Arrange fruit just before serving for the freshest look.
  • For extra stability, you can add 1 tsp gelatin (dissolved) to the filling.

Recommendation:

Perfect for summer parties, potlucks, or weekend treats. Serve with a glass of peach iced tea or chilled white wine.
