How to Make Cookie Pie Crust for Cheesecake
You can buy ready made pie crusts, either with pastry or a cookie base. I have bought pie crusts before when I made my No Bake Cherry Cheesecake. For this recipe I made it from scratch using cookies.
- Grease an 8" round pan with butter (can use springform).
- Process the cookies in food processor until they resemble crumbs. Alternatively, use a rolling pin and smash for the same result.
- Add the melted butter and mix together until combined. Press the cookie mixture into the greased pan forming your pie base.
- Refrigerate for 20 minutes allowing it to set.
Which Cookies Are Best for Pie Crust?
You could use any sweet cookie from the grocery store, quite often plain cookies are best, so they don't overpower your cheesecake. In this recipe as pictured, I used Gingersnap cookies, but here are some cookie suggestions.
- Graham Crackers
- Maria Cookies
- Lemon Cookies
- Shortbread Cookies
- Gingersnaps
- McDonaldland Cookies or Animal Crackers
How to Make No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake
It really only minutes to prepare the blueberry cheesecake pie filling. All you need to do is to beat the ingredients together, pour into pie pan and allow to set!
- Prepare the Cookie Pie Crust or use a store-bought pie crust.
- Beat cream cheese until fluffy in large bowl.
- Slowly beat in sweetened condensed milk until smooth. Stir in lemon juice and vanilla.
- Pour into pie crust. Chill 4 hours until set (can be left overnight).
- Top with chilled blueberry filling when ready to serve.
Vanilla Essence or Vanilla Bean
Vanilla Essence adds vanilla flavor, however it's not real vanilla but synthetic. For better vanilla flavor, you need to use Vanilla Extract. Vanilla extract is made by mixing vanilla pods with alcohol.
Vanilla Bean Paste is the most flavorful of the 3 vanillas. Thick and syrupy with flecks of vanilla pods throughout, which you can see in the white cheesecake mix. These are all used interchangeably, but Vanilla Bean Paste is best to use for cheesecake.
Blueberry Topping for Cheesecake
You can used either canned Blueberry Pie Filling for this recipe or fresh blueberries. Blueberry Pie filling is sweet, economical and easy to use year round. Fresh Blueberries look fancier on the cheesecake, taste fresh, and look great when sprinkled with icing sugar or garnished with fresh mint leaves.
