Variations
- Try different flavors of pie filling. Blueberry is delicious but we also like cherry, strawberry, peach mixed berry and apple.
- Pie Crust. Oreo Pie Crust or Chocolate would be more delicious options to try. You can even use vanilla wafers or cookies to make a crust.
- Mini Cheesecakes. Try making this recipe in mini graham cracker crusts. You can make your own or pick up a pack of store bought.
- Chocolate Layer. If you love chocolate, melt chocolate chips and pour over the pie crust. Place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set. Then pour the cheesecake filling.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Combine the crust ingredients.
Step 2. Stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar.
Step 3. Then press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking dish. Make sure that you evenly press into the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the cheesecake layer.
Step 4. Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and lemon juice in a medium bowl or large bowl. I suggest using an electric mixer. You can use a hand mixer or bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high speed.
Step 5. Continue until the mixture is combined and creamy.
Step 6. Then gently fold in the cool whip.
Step 7. Place into the pie crust. Spread this mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust. Refrigerate for for 5-10 minutes.
Step 8. Top with blueberries. Spread the blueberry pie filling over the top of the cream cheese layer. Then chill the cheesecake for at least 3-4 hours but overnight is best. Finally, remove the sides of the springform pan and slice and enjoy! You can also garnish with lemon zest.
Storage
Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 5 days. You can also place inside an airtight container.
FAQs
Cheesecake can be frozen up to 6 to 8 months if properly stored. Wrap the cheesecake in plastic wrap and again in aluminum foil.
When ready to serve, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.
Another option is to freeze the cheesecake in individual slices. This is a good option if you plan to just eat a slice every now and then.
Flash freeze the slices on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, place inside a freezer bag or container. This extra step of flash freezing the slices will ensure they don’t stick together once stored.
Yes, you use a premade graham cracker crust in this recipe if you prefer. Feel free to use what is easiest for you.
This cheesecake can be made 1 to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. I prefer to wait to add the topping until ready to serve.
Expert Tips
- Room temperature ingredients – Make sure to use room temperature ingredients to ensure that the cheesecake layer is smooth and creamy. If not, it will be lumpy and not have the smooth texture you are trying to achieve.
- Homemade Graham Cracker Crust – You can make your own graham cracker crumbs using a food processor. This will quickly and easily make fine crumbs.
- Crushing the graham crackers – Another option for making pie crust is crushing the graham crackers inside a ziploc bag. This is an option if a food processor is not available. Seal tightly and crush with the back of a spoon or rolling pin.
- Refrigerate before slicing – Chill at least 3 to 4 hours but preferably overnight. Attempting to slice the cheesecake too soon will result in messy slices or a crust that does not hold together.
- Use pie filling – Make sure that you buy blueberry pie filling and not canned blueberries or blueberry sauce. They do not have the same texture.
- Room temperature topping – The topping should not be warmed prior to spreading on the cheesecake. It needs to be cold or room temperature.
