I developed this Blueberry Cream Cheese Crisp recipe as part of my friendship with Philadelphia Cream Cheese, and let me tell you, it’s outrageous. Underneath the crumbly, cinnamon-scented streusel is a layer of hot, bubbling summer blueberries. Below that? Cheesecake. Silky smooth cheesecake made with Philadelphia cream cheese. Heaven help all of us. It’s truly the best of all worlds, right?
There’s no need to add a scoop ice cream, since the cheesecake adds more than enough creaminess, but I just couldn’t help myself. But have you met me? Over the top is my standard operating procedure.
This blueberry number is going to become your new go-to summertime dessert, friends. Make it soon, make it often, and let me know what you think!
Full disclosure: I was compensated by Philadelphia to develop this recipe for their brand.
My friend and I (who were both followers of yours before we ever met) are getting together next week to try out a few new “Andie recipes” as we call them that we haven’t made before. I am sooo going to nominate this one! Blueberry cheesecake was my favorite ice cream flavor, so this is the real thing come to life!
Ohmygosh I’m in love with you. The end.

What’s a crisp without vanilla ice cream next to it? Love this.
My favourite summer desert is cookies with oats and chocolate chips add frozen icecream and pour over some hot jam :3
Looks fabulous! My husband will LOVE this! Thanks!!
I love your website because you showcase great, nutritionally dense food with not alot of calories. Any chance you can provide the nutritional information for this recipe?
Perfect timing, there’s a sale on blueberries at Whole Foods. Definitely making this over the weekend!
As it so happens, I have a mess of blueberries and a block of cream cheese languishing in my fridge.
Coincidence? Kismet? Who knows? All I know is the Goddess of Dessert has smiled upon me.
This was such a hit. My seven-in-a-week son has asked me to make it for his birthday cake. My mom and I are planning on using some of my nearly ripe peaches for a melba spin on this. My teenage daughter is making another crumble right this very minute to take to a girl’s movie night.
Once again, you knock it out of the park.
So so so happy to hear it! Thanks Jennielynn!! Also, great idea with the peaches!

Yum!! I’m such a sucker for desserts with cream cheese in them!
Looks yummy! A nice way to use fresh blueberries in-season.
I can’t wait to make this! It looks so good that I’ve already been telling people about it. :)
Hi Andie,
Stumbled upon your blog about a month ago, and now I am officially a fan <3
Tried this recipe just now and it was a hit!!! I don't usually like cheesecakes, but this one I LOVE.
Your fan from Jakarta, Indonesia,

I made this last night and everyone loved it! My nephew said it was his favorite dessert of all time! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hey Rachel! Just added the recipe to the post above! Thanks for letting me know :)

Thank you so much!
Could I use frozen blueberries for this recipe?
I tried this yesterday with frozen blueberries because I had them in the freezer. Unfortunately, it makes the cobbler too watery. I even rinsed and dried the frozen berries (per King Arthur Flour) before adding them. It would probably work if you gently simmered the berries on med low heat and added some cornstarch to thicken before adding to the cream cheese. It’s a delicious recipe – I’m going to try it again with fresh berries.
Just made this recipe. It looked so delicious! It was a bit sweet for me and my family’s tastes. I’ll leave out 1/4 cup of sugar next time. And I’ve never made cheesecake before so I overcooked the cream cheese layer just a bit. But other than that, it was awesome! Thank you for this. :)
I first discovered this recipe last year and it has become my go to dessert when I don’t have a lot of time but want to impress. The cream cheese bottom elevates the simple fruit crisp to a new level of yum. I love that you can substitute many different fruits. I’m trying to limit my sugar intake so I did reduce the amount of white and brown sugar to 1/4 cup each and you really don’t miss it. Last night I made a combo of blueberries and mango and it was a hit. I’ve made this so many times and when I went to look for it again for my party, I couldn’t find it. Panic!!! Now I’ve booked marked it and printed it for safe keeping!!
