Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

½ cup water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the ingredients are well combined and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan to create an even crust layer. Place in the refrigerator to set while preparing the filling.

    Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Cook, stirring gently, until the blueberries begin to break down and the mixture thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

      Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until well blended.

        Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

          Layer the Blueberry Cheesecake: Spread half of the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust, smoothing it out evenly. Pour half of the blueberry sauce over the cheesecake layer, spreading it gently with a spatula. Repeat with the remaining cheesecake filling and blueberry sauce. Use a knife to swirl the top for a marbled effect.

            Chill: Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.

              Serve: Once set, cut the cheesecake into bars and serve chilled. Garnish with additional fresh blueberries for an extra pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your refreshing no-bake dessert!
