One-Pan No-Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

I have been thinking about my No Bake Mason Jar Berry Cheesecake Trifle recipe and wanted to make a version of it into a one-pan dish using fresh, in-season blueberries and zesty lemon curd. Lemon and blueberry marry well together, and combining them in a creamy no-bake cheesecake makes for a refreshing summer dessert. But where does the crumble part come from? I adore coffee cake with lovely crumbles on top. That got my wheels turning and I decided to combine my love of coffee cake crumble with decadent cheesecake.

If crumb topping isn’t your thing, that layer can be skipped and you still have a complete, one-pan no-bake dessert that is delicious and satisfying. For those of you who don’t mind (i.e. all those cookie dough lovers out there!), you will love the extra texture and rich, brown sugar flavor it provides.  Another favorite of mine, Mascarpone is lightly sweet and very smooth which lends itself very well to this no-bake blueberry cheesecake.

Ingredients you will need:

This no-bake blueberry cheesecake can be broken down into a series of layers as follows, bottom to top:

Crust Layer

• 2 packages of regular graham crackers (5 ounces each package, 10 ounces total)
• 5 tablespoons of butter, melted and cooled (can substitute coconut oil in the same amount)

No Bake Cheesecake Layer

• 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese (can substitute 2-8 ounce packages regular cream cheese), room temperature
• 1-14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup fresh, squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Curd Layer

• 5 ounces (about 1/2 of a 10-ounce jar) lemon curd either homemade or store-bought (I used store bought for this recipe), room temperature so that it’s spreadable

Crumble Layer

• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed, to form large crumbs
• 1/2 cup coconut oil or same amount unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature

Toppings Layer

• 1 package (1 pint) fresh, washed & dry blueberries
• 1 recipe Vanilla Whipped Cream
• Lemon peel for garnish
• 1-2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar, to dust *optional

Kitchen tools you will find useful:

• 9×9 inch square pan is ideal, make sure it is at least 2″ high to hold the toppings (you can also use an 8×8 inch square pan, like I did here, just make sure it is tall enough, 2+ inches)
• electric hand mixer or stand mixer
• food processor
• baking spatula
• offset spatula (for spreading lemon curd)
• serrated knife, for cutting lemons
• spatula for serving

I hope you enjoy this no-bake blueberry cheesecake as much as my family has been enjoying it!

• 1-14 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Lemon Curd Layer:
• 5 ounces about 1/2 of a 10 ounce jar lemon curd either homemade or store bought (I used store bought for this recipe), room temperature so that it's spreadable
• Crumble Layer:
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more if needed, to form large crumbs
• 1/2 cup coconut oil or same amount unsalted butter melted and cooled to room temperature
• Toppings Layer:

• 1-2 tablespoons confectioner's sugar to dust *optional

Instructions

• Grease an 8x8 or 9x9 inch square pan with canola oil (or any oil that is liquid at room temperature).
• Process 2 packages of regular graham crackers in a food processor until you reach a fine crumb.
• Mix the graham crackers with 5 tablespoons melted, cooled butter (or 5+ tablespoons melted and cooled coconut oil), until combined and evenly press mixture into the bottom of the pan.
• Using an electric mixer, whip room temperature Mascarpone until smooth. Pour in the can of sweetened condensed milk and combine. Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Pour the mixture over graham crust layer and using a baking spatula or offset spatula smooth evenly. Cover and refrigerate 2-1/2-3 hours or until firm.
• While the cheesecake layer is firming up in the refrigerator, combine 1-1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar and 1/2 cup coconut oil or butter (melted and cooled) until you have an evenly mixed crumb, cover and set aside until ready to use (do not refrigerate or it will harden to the shape of the bowl!)
• Spread 5 ounces of room temperature lemon curd on top of firm cheesecake layer using an offset spatula in an even layer.
• Add the crumb mixture evenly over the lemon curd layer. Add 1 pint of fresh blueberries. Garnish with lemon peel, if desired. Dust with confectioner's sugar before serving, if you chose. Serve with 1 recipe Vanilla Whipped Cream. Enjoy!
