Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- No baking required: I have used gelatine sheets for setting this cheesecake, and since the recipe has no flour, it doesn’t require baking!
- Easily customizable: This cheesecake has three layers – the butter crust, cream cheese filling, and blueberry mousse layer. You can customize the flavors in the mousse layer; simply replace the blueberry puree with the flavor of your choice – be it strawberry, raspberry, mango, or even Biscoff!
- The perfect balance of flavors: One of the main reasons why blueberry cheesecake is loved by so many is its perfect balance of flavors. The creamy and slightly tangy cream cheese filling pairs wonderfully with the sweet and slightly tart blueberry mousse layer.
- The texture: Blueberry cheesecake boasts a smooth and velvety texture that melts in your mouth. The contrast between the creamy filling and the soft biscuit crust adds another layer of texture to this indulgent dessert.
Important Ingredients In Blueberry Cold-Set Cheesecake
- Gelatine sheet: I have used gold grade gelatine sheet for this recipe. If you use a gelatin sheet with different strengths, you must increase or decrease the quantity accordingly.
- Heavy cream: Along with cream cheese, heavy cream plays an important role in the creamy texture of the cheesecake. Also, it helps the cheesecake to set properly compared to fresh cream.
- Icing sugar: It adds the required sweetness to our recipe, and since it’s easily dissolvable, I have preferred this over castor sugar. Make sure to sift it before adding it to avoid lumps in the batter.
- White couverture: I have used Van Houten’s white couverture for the blueberry mousse. You can also use compound chocolate, but couverture gives the best taste.
How To Make Blueberry Cold-Set Cheesecake
- Soak the gelatine sheet: Add the gelatine sheet to a bowl of cold water and keep it aside.
- Set the crust: Crush some digestive biscuits and add melted butter. Set a layer of this mixture in the cavities of a cylindrical silicon mould. Keep it in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes or until set.
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Add cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla essence in a bowl. Mix until the mixture softens.
- Mix heavy cream and gelatine: Heat the heavy cream (a) in a bowl and then add the soaked gelatine sheet to it. Mix until the sheet dissolves properly; microwave again if required. Make sure you squeeze out excess water from the gelatine sheet.
- Beat heavy cream: In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream (b) till soft peaks and then mix it with the heavy cream (a) mixture.
- Set the cheesecake layer: Add heavy cream to the cream cheese mixture. Pipe this batter over the set crust till the 3/4th level of the cavity. Freeze it for 3 to 4 hours or until the cheesecake layer sets properly.
- Prepare blueberry mousse layer: Soak the gelatine sheet in cold water and then melt white couverture in a separate bowl. Then add the blueberry puree and soaked gelatine sheet to the melted chocolate. Beat whipping till soft peaks in a separate bowl, then fold the white chocolate mixture to make the mousse.
- Pipe the mousse layer: Pipe the blueberry mousse over the set cheesecake till the top of the cavity. Scrape the top of the mould to remove any access. Let the cheesecake set in the freezer for a few hours until set completely.
- Demould & garnish: Once the cheesecake sets, demould and garnish it. Pipe whipped cream using a Sultan nozzle on the top and place a blueberry in the center.

Chef Tips For The Recipe
Quick tip for using gelatine sheet.
There are four strengths of gelatine sheets – bronze, silver, gold, and platinum; platinum being the strongest. It’s important to soak the gelatine in cold water so that it dissolves easily. And when you add it to the liquid ingredients, ensure the liquid is warm so the gelatine activates.
Don’t overwhip the heavy cream.
Heavy cream tends to separate when it’s overwhipped. So for a smaller quantity, it’s preferable to use a balloon whisk instead of an electric to avoid overbeating.
