I made this blueberry cheesecake when I wanted something creamy, fruity, and simple enough to prepare with everyday ingredients. The Greek yogurt gives it a soft, creamy texture, while the honey adds natural sweetness and the blueberries bring a fresh berry flavor and beautiful color.

Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 g) Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (85 g) honey
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
Equipment Needed
- Mixing bowl
- Blender or food processor
- Whisk
- 8-inch round cake pan
- Parchment paper
- Spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
I start by preheating my oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper.(See the next page below to continue steps…)
Next, I blend the blueberries until smooth. I add the Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and blueberry puree to a large mixing bowl and whisk everything together until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
I pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
I bake the cheesecake for about 35–45 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
Once baked, I let the cheesecake cool completely at room temperature. I then refrigerate it for at least 2–3 hours, or preferably overnight, before slicing.
Pro Tips for Best Results
Use thick Greek yogurt for the creamiest texture. Fresh blueberries give the best flavor and color, but frozen blueberries can also work. For a smoother cheesecake, blend the blueberries very well before mixing them into the batter.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid overbaking the cheesecake because it can become dry and lose its creamy texture. I also recommend letting it chill completely before slicing so it has enough time to firm up. (See the next page below to continue…)
Serving Suggestions
I like serving this cheesecake chilled with fresh blueberries on top. You can also add a small drizzle of honey or a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an extra creamy finish.
Variations & Customizations
You can replace the blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or mixed berries. For a stronger blueberry flavor, add a handful of whole blueberries to the batter before baking.
How to Store & Freeze
I store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Individual slices can also be wrapped and frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
Conclusion
This blueberry cheesecake is creamy, fruity, and incredibly simple to make. With Greek yogurt, eggs, honey, and blueberries, you can create a delicious homemade dessert without a complicated ingredient list.
