Blueberry Cheesecake Recipe

14 February 2012 9 Comments

This is one of the easiest cheesecake recipes I’ve ever made.  And the most delicious if you ask me.  Of course, I grew up with this recipe so I’m bias.  Whenever we visited my Grandma as kids she would have a batch of this whipped up and waiting for us.  She always topped hers with cherry pie filling, but it is easily altered to suit the tastes of your guests.  I had a house full of blueberry lovers last night so blueberries it was!  Blueberries, cherries, it doesn’t matter.  It tastes like nostalgia to me. 
Crust:

1 1/4 C Graham Cracker Crumbs

1/4 C Melted Butter

1/4 C Sugar

Mix all of the ingredients together, press firmly into the bottom of a pie dish.  Set the crust in the fridge.

Filling/Topping:

1 Can Pie Filling (your choice of flavour)

1 8oz Package Philadelphia Cream Cheese

1 8oz Can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk

1 Tsp. Vanilla

1/3 C Lemon Juice

Mix cream cheese, milk, vanilla and lemon juice together.  Spread on top of crust.  Refrigerate for two hours. Once set, pour pie filling on top.

* I mixed a few fresh blueberries with my pie filling to give the topping a bit more texture and crunch. *

What have you guys been up to in your kitchens lately?  Any baking or no-baking going on?  Besides whipping up this recipe I’ve also been busy painting away. The kitchen is starting to look like a place I wouldn’t mind spending some time in.  More on that later!

    I don’t like cheesecake, and I can’t really read the ingredients on this computer for some reason, but this looks amazing and your pictures turned out awesome! Especially that first one. :)

    Hey Melanie, Ugh, I don’t know why you can’t read the ingredients!? I am testing out a new font so that could be why. Thank you for your sweet words about the pictures!

    Brandi, Whitney,
    I hope you guys try the recipe! It’s much creamier and softer than traditional, baked cheesecake. If you do make it let me know how you like it!

    My mama used to make the cherry version of this. It is still one of my favorites. Blueberry sounds like it would be really good!
