likebyregina Are you still looking for ideas for the upcoming Valentine’s Day? This no-bake Blueberry Cheesecake might be for you. It is a simple recipe, which does not require any skills. The cheesecake is a purple ombré cake, using homemade blueberry jam. For the past few years, I think cooking at home for my loved one is better than eating out at a fancy restaurant. Don’t you agree that it will be more meaningful?
The only thing that needs to mindful of is this requires overnight to set, as it is a no-bake cheesecake. And instead of fresh blueberries, which are not in season at this time, I chose BC Frozen Blueberries that can be found in any grocery store. I was surprised to see how pulp and juicy they are.
