Blackberry cheesecake parfaits for two are so fun and pretty! They're made with a fresh blackberry sauce and layered into jars for serving. No bake recipe!
Can we please spend the rest of summer eating no bake cheesecakes out of jars with long spoons? It is so so so hot. So hot.
I just got back from one of those vacations that you need a vacation afterwards. We went to bed way too late, ate way too much food, and generally lost track of time chatting all day long.
It was refreshing to the heart to socialize so much, but these bags under my eyes need to catch their plane.
Making a fresh blackberry cheesecake was at the top of my priority list this week for chasing away the blues. I know that it's clear that I have a no-bake cheesecake problem (see my no bake cheesecake for two, my no bake milk chocolate cheesecakes for proof). This fresh blackberry cheesecake version wasn't too far behind; you know that.
Most no-bake cheesecake recipes use sweetened condensed milk to set up. While that is delicious, it's hard to know what to do with the leftovers when making a dessert for two. I have a few ideas (homemade licorice, mini peanut butter pies, hello dolly bars) but for this cheesecake, I used melted white chocolate as the binder. Even more delicious!
White chocolate firms when cooled in the fridge, setting your cheesecake perfectly. It's magic!
The cheesecake base is super easy to make: it's just melted white chocolate + cream cheese + heavy cream.
If you're not a white chocolate fan, don't worry--it doesn't explicitly taste like white chocolate. It tastes like rich, creamy cheesecake. The graham cracker crust is the same as any pie you make: grahams + butter. The special part today is the blackberry sauce.
You can any summer beauty berry you like. Raspberries and blueberries are very welcome here, too!
The jars in the pictures are mini Weck tulip jars, and they hold just the right amount of cheesecake for two people! I adore them!

Funny, these actually look refreshing, which is definitely not a word I've used to describe cheesecake before! It probably has something to do with that condensation on the glass. I am soooo trying this!

Pass the long wooden spoon! I'm game for eating these on the daily. I love that you used heavy cream and white chocolate in place of sweetened condensed milk. Pinned.
