Print Recipe

A refreshing and rich no-bake cheesecake featuring huckleberries, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 2 cups huckleberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 Tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter (softened)
  • 8 oz full-fat brick style cream cheese (softened)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1–2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (36% – 40% fat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the huckleberry sauce by combining huckleberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cold water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until bubbling, then simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat, add salted butter, and let cool.
  2. Make the crust by mixing all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. Add softened butter and mix until crumbly. Press into a 9-inch springform pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes until golden. Let cool.
  3. Prepare the cheesecake filling by beating cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Assemble the cheesecake by spreading half of the filling over the crust, topping with half of the huckleberry sauce, swirling gently. Add remaining filling and sauce and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. Serve by slicing the cheesecake and enjoying!

Notes

For a no-bake crust, substitute with crushed graham crackers. This cheesecake can be made a day in advance for optimal flavor.
