This no bake berry cheesecake is made with raspberry and blueberry jam, so you can get the punch of raspberry and blueberry flavor any time of year, even in the middle of December. Layering the berry cheesecake gives it an extra special touch that is simple to do but also impressive to serve.
I decided to make a no bake berry cheesecake recipe using jam so that great flavor is never limited by the season. Using jam means you get all the flavor of fresh berries without the worry of availability.
The red, white, and blue color scheme makes it perfect for your next patriotic party, and the combination of raspberry and blueberry over a Golden Oreo crust makes every bite spectacular.

Ingredients Needed
- Golden Oreos – The perfect base for this berry cheesecake filling.
- Cream Cheese – Use full-fat, softened cream cheese. Low-fat has a higher water content and can affect the texture of the filling.
- Raspberry Jam – The perfect way to get great raspberry flavor easily.
- Blueberry Jam – Using blueberry jam is great because most have little chunks of blueberries inside.
- Fresh Raspberries and Blueberries – Added on top for freshness, gorgeous color, and flavor.

How to make Easy No Bake Berry Cheesecake
- Pulse the Golden Oreos into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. {If you don’t have a food processor or blender then add cookies to a zipper bag and crush with a rolling pin.} Mix together Golden Oreo crumbs and melted butter, stir until crumbs are completely coated. Pour crumbs into a lightly greased 9″ spring form pan and press into the bottom and partially up the sides of the pan. Refrigerate the crust until the filling is prepared.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk together, mixing until incorporated and smooth. Finally, add whipped topping to the mixture and gently mix.
- Divide the filling into three bowls {about 2½ cups in each bowl}. Leave one bowl as is. Add raspberry jam to one of the bowls and blueberry jam to the other bowl.
- Mix the jam into the cheesecake filling gently{being sure to not deflate}.
- Add cheesecake mixture into the prepared Golden Oreo crust. Begin by adding the raspberry jam cheesecake filling and spreading it into an even layer.
- Top the raspberry jam filling with the plain cheesecake filling and spread out into an even layer.
- Finally, top that with the blueberry cheesecake filling and spread out into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours {overnight works best}.
- To serve, add whipped topping to a piping bag with a star tip {or a zipper bag} and pipe the whipped topping around the edge of the cheesecake. Go back and place fresh raspberries and blueberries around the edge of the cheesecake as desired.
Pro Tips
- Refrigerate the crust while you make the filling. This helps the crust set up nicely without having to bake it.
- Use room temperature cream cheese. Softened cream cheese is key to getting a creamy and smooth filling.
- Stir the jam in carefully. That way the filling doesn’t deflate and you keep the good thick texture.
- Use an offset spatula for even layers. It makes it easy to get a nice level layer after each addition of cheesecake filling.
- Give it plenty of time to chill. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but overnight gives the best results so that it sets up nicely.
Storage Instructions
Store this no bake berry cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze, wrap the cheesecake well and freeze for up to 3 months. Freeze without the toppings and either defrost before serving or serve partially frozen for a different texture.
Recipe FAQs
You can absolutely use a different kind of crust for this Berry No Bake Cheesecake. I love this Golden Oreo Crust but a traditional graham cracker crust or Vanilla Wafer would also be delicious.
If adding a chocolate element with the fruit is your jam then use an Oreo crust{like the one in my Oreo no bake cheesecake} or even a Chocolate Chip Cookie Crust.
Yes, use whatever flavor of jam that you and your family love. If you prefer blackberry, cherry or strawberry then go for it. You could also skip the berries altogether and go for apricot or even peach!
The main difference between a baked and no bake cheesecake is obvious, one is baked in the oven and the other is not baked. No bake cheesecakes also don’t contain eggs, whereas baked cheesecakes do.
This makes the texture of the two very different. A baked cheesecake is very dense in texture while a no bake cheesecake is much lighter and almost mousse-like.
If you love the no bake style, this Easy No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake is another great one to try.
Fresh or frozen berries can be used in the cheesecake filling instead of jam, but would have to be cooked down over the stove with some sugar in order to get the right taste and texture.
This No Pectin Strawberry Jam is a great way of making jam easily without any special equipment. It would work great in this recipe.
