Easy No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake

There are days when the world feels too fast, too loud… and all you want is a quiet moment and something sweet. For me, that moment came one summer evening after a long, emotional week. I didn’t have the energy for a complicated dessert, but I wanted to bring a little joy to my family dinner table.

That’s when I remembered my mama’s old recipe for no bake blueberry cheesecake, something she used to make when the kitchen was too hot and the days were too long. It was creamy, cool, and topped with the juiciest blueberries she could find at the farmer’s market. And just like that, I was back in her kitchen, barefoot on cool tiles, helping her stir the filling while humming old tunes on the radio.

This recipe isn’t just easy, it’s healing. And I hope it becomes a new favorite in your home too.
