What is in a Spiced Blueberry & Ginger Cookie No-Bake Cheesecake?

  1. Cream Cheese (8 oz block)
    Smooth and rich, cream cheese is the backbone of this cheesecake, creating a creamy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Full-fat varieties work best here for that decadent taste.

  2. Heavy Whipping Cream (1 1/3 cups)
    Whipping cream makes the filling light and fluffy, adding a bit of airiness to the cheesecake. Go for a good-quality heavy cream with high-fat content to help it hold stiff peaks.

  3. Pure Vanilla (1 tsp)
    Vanilla adds a subtle warmth and sweetness that balances the cream cheese’s tanginess. Look for pure vanilla extract rather than artificial for the best flavor.

  4. Icing Sugar (1/2 cup)
    Also known as powdered sugar, icing sugar blends smoothly into the filling, adding sweetness without any graininess. It’s a must for that creamy, light texture.

  5. Ginger Snap Cookies (1 package)
    These cookies bring a spicy, slightly crunchy texture that makes the perfect crust for our cheesecake. Look for crisp ginger snaps, as they blend into a fine crumb more easily.

  6. Butter (1/3 cup, melted)
    Melted butter helps hold the crust together, binding the ginger snap crumbs into a firm base that holds up well under the creamy filling.

  7. Berry & Brine Spiced Blueberry & Haskap Jam (1/2 jar)
    This jam brings a fruity, spiced flavor that’s deliciously unique. Made with blueberries and haskap berries, it has a hint of spice that complements the cheesecake’s richness perfectly.

Products used in Spiced Blueberry & Ginger Cookie No-Bake Cheesecake

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, you can absolutely make this gluten-free! Just swap out the ginger snap cookies for gluten-free ginger snaps or another gluten-free cookie that’s a bit spicy or has a similar texture. Gluten-free graham crackers could work, too, if you can’t find ginger snaps. Just follow the same steps to process the cookies and mix them with butter. A gluten-free crust will keep that same crunch and flavor, so everyone can enjoy this cheesecake without worry.

Can I use a different jam in this recipe?

Definitely! If you don’t have our Spiced Blueberry & Haskap Jam on hand, you could try this recipe with other Berry & Brine jams. Fig, blackberry, or even a tangy raspberry jam could be great alternatives. Just make sure the jam you use isn’t too runny—something thicker will hold up better and create those beautiful swirls in the filling. Each jam will add its own unique twist, so feel free to experiment with different flavors to make this dessert your own!

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, this recipe is perfect for making ahead! In fact, the cheesecake benefits from a longer chill time, allowing the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up even more. You can prepare it up to a day in advance—just keep it covered in the fridge to prevent it from drying out or picking up any fridge odors. When it’s time to serve, simply slice and enjoy!
