This irresistible Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert Pizza is a semi-homemade dessert recipe that uses only six ingredients and is ready in 30 minutes. Mounds of fresh blueberries are nested in a pillow of no-bake cheesecake fluff over a crescent roll crust.
My name is Teri and I blog at Buy This Cook That; preparing and sharing delicious homemade recipes is what I love. Our favorite recipes are Southern classics with a twist, like this delish Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert Pizza. Fuss-free enough to serve to your kids, or elegant enough to serve at a Sunday brunch.
First we start with a basic crescent roll dough sheet that has been sprinkled with a little bit of white granulated sugar before baking. The sugar adds a little layer of extra sweetness and texture to our dessert pizza that you will love. Once the “pizza dough” is cooked and cooled completely, I promise, there is no more baking in this dessert.
How to make the N0-Bake Cheesecake Fluff:
Next, it is time for my favorite part of this Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert Pizza recipe, the cheesecake layer. This sweet and creamy fluffy layer of yum is so easy to make. Cream together a package of softened cream cheese with granulated white sugar. For a slight tint of blueberry color, toss in a few fresh blueberries. Blend until smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy whipping cream and a little sugar until light and fluffy. Fold the two mixtures together to create an amazing topping for your blueberry cheesecake dessert pizza. We also folded in a little bit of lemon zest for a lovely fragrance and flavor.
Then you get to make it pretty. Cover the dessert pizza with loads of fresh blueberries and lemon zest. If you want a more refined look, you can certainly place them in evenly-spaced rows.
Other variations of this dessert pizza:
- How about Kiwi and Lime? Swap out lemon zest for lime zest, and use fresh sliced kiwi in place of the blueberries.
- Turn it into a chocolate citrus dream. Replace the lemon zest with orange zest. Add cocoa powder or melted chocolate to the cream cheese layer. Top with shaved chocolate pieces and mandarin oranges.
- Make the Blueberry Cheesecake Dessert Pizzas a little more personal and cut into squares before assembly. That way everyone gets their own pizza instead of just a slice.

Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough sheet
- 1 8-oz package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar plus 3 tbsp, divided
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
- Preheat oven according to crescent roll package directions. Unroll the dough onto an ungreased baking sheet. Pinch the edges into a "crust" edge if desired. Sprinkle the dough sheet with two tablespoons of the sugar. Bake according to package directions. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl on high speed, cream together the cream cheese and 1/2 cup of the sugar until smooth and the sugar is no longer grainy. Add a handful (about 1/4 cup) of the fresh blueberries. Mash and beat until they burst and the mixture turns a light shade of blue-purple.
