Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened (preferably at room temperature)

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

½ cup water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the base of a 9x9-inch baking pan. Once pressed, place the pan in the refrigerator to allow the crust to set while you prepare the filling.

    Make the Blueberry Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, lemon juice, cornstarch, and water. Stir gently as it heats, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the blueberries start to burst and the mixture thickens slightly. Remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly.

      Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar along with the vanilla extract, mixing well until everything is well combined and smooth.

        Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, ensuring it is fully incorporated while being gentle to maintain the light texture.

          Layer the Blueberry Cheesecake: Take half of the cheesecake filling and spread it evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust. Then, pour half of the blueberry sauce over the cheesecake layer, distributing it gently. Repeat the process with the remaining cheesecake filling and blueberry sauce. For a beautiful presentation, use a knife to create a marbled effect on the top.

            Chill: Cover the baking pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, although overnight is preferable for the best texture and flavor.

              Serve: Once chilled and set, slice the cheesecake into bars. Serve cold, garnished with additional fresh blueberries for a delightful burst of flavor and color. Enjoy your delicious no-bake dessert!
