Creamy lemon cheesecake filling atop a buttery vanilla cookie crust topped with loads of juicy, in-season blueberries, this No-Bake Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake recipe is dessert perfection!
No-bake desserts are great for those hot summer days when you don't want to turn on the oven and heat up the house. Be sure to check out my collection of easy no-bake recipes HERE!
I think this cheesecake is my new favourite no-bake recipe! The creamy lemon filling is just incredible!! I use a combination of fresh lemon juice, lemon zest (lots of it!), and instant lemon pudding mix powder to achieve the bright lemon flavour in this cheesecake. The pudding mix does two things in this recipe: 1. Adds more lemon flavour, and 2. Helps to thicken the filling! So please don't skip it!

No-Bake Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake
Equipment
- 9-inch springform pan
- food processor (or something to crush cookies)
- electric handheld mixer
- mixing bowls
- measuring cups & spoons
- silicone spatula
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 2 cups crushed vanilla sandwich cookies (with icing) (approximately 20 cookies)
- ¼ cup salted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Batter:
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened (2 x 8-ounce packages)
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar (confectioners sugar)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipping cream (I use 33%)
- ¼ cup instant lemon pudding mix (powder)
- 1 pound fresh blueberries (washed and patted dry)
Instructions
- Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray. Mix together the vanilla cookie crumbs and melted butter and press into the bottom of the pan to form a crust. Refrigerate while making the filling.
- Place the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with an electric handheld mixer on high speed until smooth. Add the whipping cream and instant pudding mix and continue mixing, starting on low speed and increasing to high until the mixture is fluffy and whipped.
- Spread the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
- For serving, you may top the entire cheesecake with the blueberries and then slice it or top the individual pieces with blueberries, whichever you prefer. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!

This is hands down my new favourite cheesecake recipe!!!
Thank you!! I’m so glad to hear that!
I am a big cheesecake fan (eating them, that is!). But now I’m a fan of making them, too. I rolled up my sleeves last night (hard to do with a short-sleeve shirt) and made this yummy blueberry lemon cheesecake all by myself (easy to do with Naomi’s great recipe!). Thanks, Naomi! It is a delicious, simple to make dessert!
I'm happy to hear that this recipe was such a success!
Thank you for the great review!!
Naomi
Again, I don’t comment often, but this cheesecake is one of the best things I’ve ever tasted. I and my taste buds are very proud of my daughter. I didn’t even have and “constructive criticism” on this one!!!
Aww, thanks so much, Dad!!
Love,
Naomi
