If you love cheesecake but want something lighter and easier, this Banana Blueberry Cheesecake is worth trying. It’s naturally sweet from ripe bananas, creamy from Greek yogurt, and loaded with juicy blueberries.
No complicated crust, no fancy equipment — just blend, pour, bake, and enjoy. 💜
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1½ cups fresh blueberries
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, if you prefer it sweeter)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for a firmer cheesecake texture)
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Preheat the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F / 175°C.
Line a 7–8 inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides so the cheesecake releases easily after baking.
Step 2: Make the creamy batter
Add the Greek yogurt, ripe bananas, and eggs to a blender or mixing bowl.
Add vanilla and honey or maple syrup if using.
Blend everything until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
If you want a slightly firmer, more cheesecake-like texture, blend in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
Step 3: Add the blueberries
Reserve a small handful of blueberries for the top.
Add the remaining blueberries to the batter and gently fold them in with a spatula.
Try not to crush them too much — whole berries create those beautiful purple pockets inside the finished cake.
Step 4: Pour into the pan
Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan.
Gently tap or shake the pan on the countertop to level the surface and remove large air bubbles.
Step 5: Add more blueberries
Scatter the reserved blueberries over the top.
Press a few berries slightly into the batter while leaving others sitting on the surface.
This gives the cheesecake that gorgeous blueberry-covered finish after baking. 🫐
Step 6: Bake
Bake for approximately 40–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center still has a slight jiggle.
The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of your pan.
Avoid overbaking — the center will continue to firm up as it cools.
Step 7: Let it cool
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
Then refrigerate it for at least 2–3 hours, preferably overnight.
This chilling step is important because it gives the cake its creamy, sliceable cheesecake texture.
Step 8: Slice and enjoy
Once chilled, remove the cheesecake from the pan.
Cut into slices and serve cold.
You can top each slice with:
- Fresh blueberries
- Banana slices
- Greek yogurt
- A drizzle of honey
- Blueberry sauce
Tips for the Best Banana Blueberry Cheesecake
Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the best natural sweetness.
Use thick Greek yogurt, rather than regular yogurt, so the cheesecake doesn’t become too watery.
Fresh blueberries work beautifully, but frozen blueberries can also be used. If using frozen berries, add them straight from the freezer without thawing.
And most importantly, let the cheesecake chill before slicing. It may look slightly soft when it first comes out of the oven, but it firms up beautifully in the refrigerator.
Storage
Keep leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
You can also slice it into individual portions and refrigerate them for an easy grab-and-go dessert or breakfast treat.
