Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 2 cups cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)

For the Blueberry Topping:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9×9-inch baking pan to form an even crust layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well incorporated.

3. Assemble the Bars

Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

4. Make the Blueberry Topping

In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens. Let the topping cool to room temperature.

5. Top and Serve

Once the cheesecake layer has set, spoon the blueberry topping evenly over the bars. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Tips for the Best No-Bake Cheesecake Bars

• For extra richness, you can substitute the Greek yogurt with more cream cheese.
• To avoid sogginess, make sure to press the graham cracker crust firmly into the pan.
• For a unique twist, try adding a layer of fresh strawberries or raspberries alongside the blueberries.
