Graham Crackers – Graham cracker crumbs serve as the base for the crust. They are slightly sweet, and the crumbly texture adds a nice foundation for the creamy cream cheese layer.

Cream Cheese – The cream cheese mixture is the second layer of this delightful cheesecake dessert. It has a smooth texture and adds richness to the overall dessert.
Confectioners Sugar – Confectioners sugar is also known as powdered sugar. It is mixed with the cream cheese to provide a creamy consistency for the filling.

Vanilla – Vanilla extract is the flavoring mixed with the cream cheese to enhance the overall flavor profile.
Blueberry Pie Filling – This recipe requires two cans of blueberry pie filling. You want it thick and full of fruity flavor that defines the dessert.
How to Make Blueberry Delight
This dessert is straightforward to make, and it is recommended to chill this dessert for several hours or overnight to allow it to thicken and cut easily into slices or bars. Please see the printable recipe card below for the complete instructions.
- Make the crust.

This is an easy cheesecake to make. The crust is simple– graham crackers, butter, and sugar mixed together and then baked for about 10 minutes. Then, it is topped with a no-bake cheesecake mixture and finished off with blueberry pie filling. This couldn’t be any easier.
Now, this next part takes a little (or a lot) of willpower, but I have faith in you. The cheesecake is then popped into the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight to chill. See, A LOT of willpower here! If you can’t wait for it to chill overnight, give it at least 6 hours in the refrigerator. Hey, I am right there with you—who can wait overnight for cheesecake?
Creamy, smooth and delicious! Blueberry cheesecake makes for the perfect ending after a long day or the best beginning for any day!
