If you love cheesecake but don’t want to go through the hassle of baking it AND refrigerating it before you can dig in, this No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake will be right up your alley. What makes this cheesecake so unique is that it sneaks in a small amount of cottage cheese for extra protein!
Now it may sound gross, but I’m telling you, you will NOT be able to tell that it is inside! All you have to do is make sure you cream your cottage cheese before adding to your batter. This ensures that you don’t see or taste the cottage cheese chunks in your cheesecake.
