Notes
Don’t forget to spray the baking pan with non-stick spray, so that the crust doesn’t get stuck to the pan.
Use whipping cream very cold – it’ll be easier to whip it.
If you want blueberries to keep their form- don’t overcook the blueberry sauce, use moderate heat and remove from heat when it starts to thicken. It will thicken more when it cools, especially if it’s refrigerated.
Make sure the blueberry sauce is completely cooled before you spread it on top of cheesecake filling.
Can whipping topping be used instead of whipping cream? Yes, use an 8 Oz pack.
Storing the extras – keep them refrigerated in an airtight container, or wrapped in a plastic wrap, no longer than 3 days.
Can I freeze No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake? Yes, you can. My advice is to cut the cheesecake into preferable size pieces, then place them on the plate and freeze without wrapping. Take the frozen cake out of the freezer and put it in a zip lock bag. They can be kept in the freezer for up to 3 months.
