If you’ve ever scrolled through Reddit food threads, you know the vibe: casual, honest, and a little obsessed with good eats. So let’s talk cheesecake—specifically, Blueberry Cheesecake, the kind that makes you pause mid-bite and think, “Yep, this is worth every calorie.”
This recipe is simple, beginner-friendly, and uses ingredients you probably already have. Plus, it’s flexible: sugar or jam, digestive biscuits or Oreos—you get to call the shots. Let’s dive in.
You’ll Need
Cream cheese – 2 packs (about 226g total), softened at room temp for 3–4 hours
Eggs – 2 large
Salt – ¼ teaspoon
Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
Blueberry jam/filling – 1 cup (as a substitute for 1 cup sugar)
Base – Ready-made Graham cracker crust (biscuit crust) OR homemade (crush biscuits of choice + melted butter)
Optional toppings – Fresh blueberries, strawberries, or whatever fruit you’ve got
1. Prep the Base
If you’re in the US, grab a ready-made crust (digestive, Oreo, walnut—your pick).
Elsewhere? Crush biscuits, mix with melted butter, and press firmly into your baking dish.
2. Make the Filling
Blend softened cream cheese for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
Add eggs, salt, and vanilla extract. Blend again.
Scrape down the sides so nothing hides at the bottom.
Add sugar OR blueberry preserve (trust me, the jam version is next-level).
Blend for another 2–3 minutes until creamy and dreamy.
3. Bake It
Pour filling over your crust.
Bake at 380°F (180°C) for 40–50 minutes.
Let cool at room temp for 2 hours, then refrigerate for 3–4 hours.
4. Decorate & Serve
Top with fresh blueberries, strawberries, or even a drizzle of extra jam.
Slice, serve, and bask in the compliments.
Room temp cream cheese is non-negotiable. Cold cream cheese = lumpy filling.
Don’t rush the cooling process. Cheesecake cracks if you skip the chill.
Experiment with jams. Blueberry is classic, but cherry or strawberry can totally work.
