Why Is Blueberry Sauce the Best Cheesecake Topping?

When it comes to dessert, there are few things as satisfying as a slice of rich, creamy cheesecake. But when you add a layer of fresh blueberry topping into the mix, suddenly this classic treat becomes even more irresistible. (but don’t let the blackberries hear that – they are my favorite fruit…except when it comes to cheesecake garnish! LOL!)

Here are four reasons why you’re going to want to dig in to that blueberry-sauce-topped cheesecake ASAP.

Firstly, the sweet and tangy blueberries cut through the richness of the cheesecake, creating the perfect flavor balance.

Secondly, the vibrant blue hue of the topping is just gorgeous to look at (let’s be real, we eat with our eyes first!).

Thirdly, blueberries are packed with antioxidants, so technically, you can consider this dessert a healthy choice.

And lastly, who doesn’t love a dessert that you can justify eating for breakfast too?

Blueberry cheesecake topping is the ultimate indulgence, and there’s no reason not to indulge every once in a while.

Frequently Asked Questions About Making Blueberry Topping for Cheesecake

#1 Tip for Making the Best Blueberry Cheesecake Topping Every Time

There’s nothing quite like the perfect blueberry cheesecake topping. It’s tangy, sweet and oh-so-satisfying atop a smooth and creamy slice of cheesecake.

The secret to success is all in the berries. Make sure you choose fresh, plump blueberries and rinse them well before use.

What other fruits can be included into this recipe?

You can always include other fruit that mix well with blueberries, and here are some for examples.

  • First, you could try strawberries.
  • Second, raspberries would make a lovely addition.
  • Lastly, but not least, my favorite is blackberries–how sweet and delicious they are.

What can replace fruit pectin if you don’t already have it in your pantry?

If you do not have pectin in your pantry already, no worries. It can easily be replaced with cornstarch, agar, gelatin or tapioca to help out with the thickening part of it.

I usually use corn starch because it’s a natural and handy substitute.

Finally, adding in 1 to 2 teaspoons per pint of fruit should be enough. Equally important is to mix it with a little liquid before adding it in the fruit so it will indeed mix well.

Can the sugar be replaced in this recipe?

Of course, it can, there are many natural sugar substitutes that can replace it, for example:

  • maple syrup
  • date paste
  • coconut sugar
  • agave nectar
  • stevia extracts
  • my favorite replacement is local honey.

I love to replace honey for sugar in a lot of my recipes. For every cup of sugar, I replace it with 1/3 cup of honey.

Do the berries have to be fresh?

First, no the berries do not have to be fresh (they just make the sauce better, in my opinion). You can certainly use frozen or canned berries too, if they are easier to find at the store. Of course, the frozen and canned berries are definitely easier to keep at home.

Just omit half of the water in the recipe to account for the water in them if using frozen berries, and you should be good to go.

How do I fix my topping if it didn’t set correctly?

If you used Pectin and it has not set the way you were hoping to, add in 25ml. of lemon juice and heat it up to a boiling again, wait 3-4 minutes and it should firm up.
