    This no bake blueberry cheesecake is ultra creamy, perfectly sweet and just melts in your mouth! The best part? It's completely plant-based and refined sugar-free. Perfect for a healthier summer dessert that everyone will love!

    Blueberry cheesecake bars

    This no bake blueberry cheesecake recipe is for all my cheesecake lovers out there! It tastes just like traditional cheesecake, yet doesn't contain any heavy cream, butter or refined sugars that are normally found in classic cheesecake recipes. Plus this blueberry version has a refreshing fruity flavour, making it a great dessert for the summertime. It's so creamy and delicious, no one would ever be able to tell it's a healthier version.

    If you love this, then you need to check out my other cheesecake bars and recipes such as No Bake Cheesecake Brownies and Vegan Cheesecake Cookie Dough Bars.

    Ingredients

    Crust

    • medjool dates
    • walnuts

    Cheesecake

    • cashews
    • coconut milk
    • maple syrup
    • unrefined coconut oil 
    • vanilla extract
    • frozen blueberries (for blueberry filling)
    • fresh blueberries (optional for a fresh blueberry topping)

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Instructions

    1. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with two flaps of parchment paper. Set aside.
    2. For crust: add dates and walnuts to a high speed food processor and blend until a dough texture forms. Press crust in an even layer into the bottom of the pan.
    3. For cheesecake batter: add all ingredients except blueberries to your blender or electric mixer. Blend on high until smooth and creamy.
    4. Pour ⅔ of your cheesecake layer over your crust. Then set in the freezer.
    5. For blueberry mixture: Blend remaining ⅓ of your cheesecake with frozen blueberries until combined. Pour over your plain layer. 
    6. Place the entire pan in the freezer for at least 2 hours until cheesecake is set. Then slice into squares and enjoy!

    Substitutions

    • Walnuts - If you don't have walnuts on hand, you can use macadamias or hazelnuts instead
    • Unrefined coconut oil - you can also use refined coconut oil, but it will bring a slight coconut flavor to this recipe.
    • Soft medjool dates - if your dates are not already soft, soak in hot water for 10 minutes. Then drain and pat dry before processing.

    Variations

    • Fresh lemon juice - feel free to add 1-2tbsp fresh lemon juice or lemon zest for a subtle lemon flavor.
    • Replace frozen blueberries with a different fruit to change the flavor. I love adjusting with frozen strawberries to create a delicious no bake strawberry cheesecake
    • Add in some shredded coconut to the crust for added sweetness and a coconut flavor
    • Make a homemade blueberry sauce to add on top of the cheesecake.

    Equipment

    • Food Processor
    • High Speed Blender
    • Sharp Cutting Knife
    • 9x5 Loaf Pan
    • Parchment Paper

    How To Store Your No Bake Cheesecake

    To store your no-bake cheesecake, transfer it to an airtight container. Then store in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. If storing in the freezer, be sure to let thaw at room temperature about 15 minutes before eating.

    3 Top Tips For Success

    1. For best results, use full-fat coconut milk. This is a key ingredient in creating the signature creamy filling we all know and love.
    2. Let the cheesecake chill in the freezer for 2 hours - overnight before slicing. This gives the cheesecake enough time to firm up and set before splitting into individual portions.
    3. If you're finding the cheesecake difficult to slice, dip your knife into hot water before cutting into individual slices. This makes it easier to cut through the cheesecake and slice into squares.

    FAQs

    Is this no bake cheesecake recipe vegan?

    Yes! This blueberry cheesecake is completely plant-based and dairy free.

    Can I freeze blueberry cheesecake?

    Absolutely! In fact, these cheesecake squares are best stored in an airtight container in the freezer. Once ready to eat, simply thaw at room temperature for ~15 minutes before enjoying.

    Does this taste similar to baked cheesecake?

    This no bake recipe still has the same ultra creamy texture as a baked cheesecake, but requires super easy and simple steps. No one will believe that this is a healthier version, without the usual whipped cream topping or butter crust base.
