Calories: ~450 kcal per slice


Kitchen Equipment Needed

  • 9-inch springform pan

  • Mixing bowls

  • Electric mixer (hand or stand mixer)

  • Spatula

  • Measuring cups and spoons

  • Whisk

  • Knife and cutting board


Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust

In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling—about 15 minutes is enough to set the crust.

Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and 1 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and continue beating until incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the air from the whipped cream. You should have a fluffy, velvety mixture.

Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake

Pour the cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust. Spread it evenly with a spatula and smooth the top. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to eliminate air bubbles. Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to fully set.

Step 4: Add the Fruit Topping

Right before serving, top the cheesecake with an artful arrangement of fresh peach slices and blueberries. Drizzle with a homemade or store-bought peach-blueberry sauce for extra flair and flavor.


Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Cheesecake

  • Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and richness.

  • Soften the cream cheese fully before mixing to avoid lumps.

  • Don’t overmix once the whipped cream is folded in—gentle is key!

  • Chill thoroughly—the cheesecake must be firm before slicing.

  • Slice peaches thinly for easier serving and prettier presentation.

  • Make your own fruit sauce with a simple reduction of fresh peaches, blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar.


Make It Your Own: Variations and Swaps

  • Switch up the fruit: Try strawberries, mango, or raspberries in place of peaches and blueberries.

  • Add a swirl: Drop spoonfuls of fruit puree onto the cheesecake layer and swirl with a skewer before chilling.

  • Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free graham crackers or almond flour for the crust.

  • Mini cheesecakes: Use muffin tins lined with cupcake papers for individual servings.

  • Lighter version: Swap whipped cream with whipped coconut cream or reduced-fat alternatives.


Storage & Leftovers

  • Refrigerator: Store the cheesecake covered in the fridge for up to 4-5 days.

  • Freezer: You can freeze the cheesecake (without fruit topping) for up to 1 month. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw in the fridge overnight.

  • Serving Tip: For clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe it dry between cuts.


Suggested Pairings

This cheesecake pairs wonderfully with:

  • Iced herbal tea – like chamomile or hibiscus.

  • Chilled prosecco or Moscato – adds a celebratory touch.

  • Espresso or cold brew coffee – balances the sweetness with bold contrast.

  • Fresh mint leaves – for an herbal, refreshing bite on the side.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?
A: Yes! This dessert is ideal for making ahead. Chill overnight and top with fruit just before serving.

Q: What if I don’t have a springform pan?
A: You can use a regular 9-inch pie dish, but it may be harder to slice and serve cleanly. Line with parchment paper for easier removal.

Q: How do I whip heavy cream properly?
A: Chill your bowl and beaters beforehand. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Don’t overwhip, or it may turn grainy or into butter.

Q: Can I use frozen fruit for the topping?
A: Yes, but thaw and drain well to avoid excess moisture. Fresh fruit offers the best presentation.

Q: Can I make it vegan?
A: Yes—with vegan cream cheese, coconut cream, and a plant-based butter substitute for the crust. Use maple syrup or agave for sweetness.
