Ingredients
Crust
- 2 sleeves honey graham crackers (about 2 cups finely crushed crumbs)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted (salted)
Filling
- 2 bars (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 can (21 oz) blueberry pie filling, divided
Instructions
- Prepare crust: Pulse the honey graham crackers in a food processor or blender until finely crushed to a sand-like consistency. Add the melted butter and pulse briefly just to combine. Transfer the crumb mixture to a 9-inch springform pan and press the crust firmly up the sides and evenly across the bottom to form the base.
- Make cream cheese filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Incorporate Cool Whip and blueberry filling: Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip and 1/2 cup of the blueberry pie filling into the cream cheese mixture using a wooden spoon or spatula, mixing just until combined to keep it airy.
- Assemble cheesecake: Pour the cream cheese filling over the prepared crust and spread evenly. Spoon the remaining blueberry pie filling over the top as a beautiful and flavorful topping.
- Chill cheesecake: Cover the cheesecake tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cheesecake to fully set, chill completely, and let the flavors meld together.
- Serve: Once chilled, serve the cheesecake cold from the fridge. Optionally, garnish with additional blueberry pie filling or fresh blueberries to enhance presentation and flavor.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing and a smoother filling.
- Use a food processor or blender to crush graham crackers finely for the best crust texture.
- Do not overmix the filling after adding Cool Whip to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
- Refrigerate time can be extended beyond 6 hours for firmer set and enhanced flavors.
- For a different flavor twist, substitute blueberry pie filling with cherry or strawberry pie filling.
