    No Bake Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

    Time needed: 35 minutes.

    Sweet, tangy, and creamy no-bake blueberry lemon cheesecake will become a new instant favorite.

    1. Smash

      Add your vanilla wafer cookies to a plastic bag and crush them. You can use a rolling pin for this, mallet, or even just your hands.

    2. Mix

      Add the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice and zest, and powdered sugar to a bowl and mix until smooth and creamy.

    3. Assemble

      Dive the crushed vanilla wafers between four parfait glasses. Next top the cookies with the cheesecake mixture. Finish it off by topping off each cheesecake parfait with some of the blueberry pie filling.

    Variations

    Have fun mixing up both the pie topping and also the crust. Strawberry pie filling would be delicious with the lemon cheesecake. You can also use Gluten Free graham crackers that have been crushed, or even Homemade Biscoff Cookies.

    Substitutions

    I used Gluten Free vanilla wafers in this recipe making it completely Gluten Free. You can use regular vanilla wafers. The measurements will be the same.

    Tools

    This is a recipe for cheesecake parfaits. While you can make this as one larger dessert, it is perfectly party ready in pretty parfait glasses. You can even dress it up with champagne flutes for any festive occasion. You will need four for this recipe.

    Storage

    The cheesecake portion of this recipe can be made several days in advance. Keep it refrigerated in an airtight container and it will keep for up to five days. You can also assemble these parfaits ahead of time. The vanilla wafer crumbs will soften as it sits changing the texture slightly. If assembled ahead of time you will want to serve it within a day or two for the best texture.

    Top Tips for Easy No Bake Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake

    When making any type of cheesecake, whether it's a classic baked cheesecake, Dairy Free cheesecake, or this no-bake lactose free version, always make sure that you allow your cream cheese, and sour cream if being used, to come to room temperature. This will ensure that when you mix together the filling that it is smooth, creamy, dreamy, and completely lump free.

    In addition to making sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature I also recommend purchasing organic lemons any time you are using the zest. This holds true with all citrus. Most citrus you find at the grocery store has a slightly waxy coating on the outside to protect it during shipping and also while it's on display. Organic citrus doesn't have this coating.
