There is nothing easier to make for dessert than a no-bake cheesecake! Not only is this dessert easy and simple for those not well-versed in baking cakes, pies, or tarts, but the combination of fresh blueberry fruit and cheese filling makes this a summertime hit.

We love adding blackberries and blueberries to this peach buckle. Using fresh fruit is the easiest way to create brightly-colored and sweet-tasting desserts for any party!
