Blueberry cheesecake—just the mere mention of it is enough to conjure images of luscious, creamy goodness that tantalizes the taste buds and captivates the soul. As we gear up to celebrate National Blueberry Cheesecake Day on May 26th, it’s time to pay homage to this beloved dessert that knows no bounds when it comes to adoration.
It offers an explosion of flavours – the fruity puree topping, harmonized by the creamy cheese centre, and complemented by the satisfying crunch of the graham cracker crust.
According to legend, blueberry cheesecakes were once enjoyed by ancient Greek Olympians, fuelling their victories. Since those days, this heavenly creation has journeyed through the time, securing a beloved place in the hearts of dessert aficionados across the globe.
As we don our chef hats in anticipation of this special day, here’s an incredibly simple method for crafting a delicious blueberry cheesecake right in your own kitchen.

- 2 tablespoons of magical gelatin
- 2 cups of whipped cream

Step 3: Crush biscuits into a coarse powder, press them evenly into a bowl, and top with melted butter before refrigerating.
Step 4: Mix gelatin in water and set aside.
Step 5: In another bowl, combine hung curd, cream cheese, powdered sugar, condensed milk, blueberry compote, and gelatin.
Step 6: Pour this mixture onto the biscuit layer and refrigerate for two to three hours before serving chilled. Enjoy!
