When we hear about hyper-specific national holidays without a known origin, we’re always a little confused. We’re only too happy to celebrate National Blueberry Cheesecake Day. But we don’t know why it exists.
Blueberries are coming into season. Depending on where you live, their season is at its peak, or it’s just beginning. Either way, having some great recipes for blueberry cheesecake desserts on hand will be useful this summer!
We love these zesty, individually portioned muffins with fruit dotted throughout them. They are a perfect balance of tart, sweet and creamy. If you have a hard time with portion control, we love treats that do it for you. You don’t have to worry about the size of your slice; it’s already handled. A serving has 150 calories, three grams of carbs, one gram of fiber and 16 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
The expression is that you eat with your eyes first. That is certainly true for these vibrant, swirled bars that look like a candy treat. The blueberry swirl is so brightly purple against the creamy yellow cheesecake that no one will be able to resist these delicious bars when they see them. A serving has 230 calories, 4.5 grams of carbs, two grams of fiber and 22 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We love how simple this recipe is to make. We also adore how light and tasty this mousse is. It’s a perfect dessert for summer, as it’s cool and doesn’t feel heavy. This recipe is close to the viral cheese foam that had its moment several summers ago. It has the same ingredients — cream cheese, heavy cream, salt and sweetener. But now it has added fruit. This is a bowl of deliciously fruity, very solid whipped cream; no one will complain if you serve it at dinner! A serving has 187 calories, three grams of carbs, 1.2 grams of fiber and 20.8 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We love a no-bake dessert, especially in the summer. When it’s hot outside, we keep our ovens off as much as possible. This recipe is easy. However, it uses homemade curd cheese. The recipe for that is on the same site. It’s also easy, but it takes several days to make. So read through it beforehand to know what you need to do, and if you want to buy cottage cheese for the recipe instead! A serving, as written, has 214 calories, six grams of carbs, three grams of fiber and 17 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope you love these recipes. And remember, it's always totally acceptable to skip the cheesecake and just have the blueberries. Even if you have company, no one says no to a bowl of ripe fruit in the summer!
