Ingredients You’ll Need

Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to cheesecake perfection! With just a few staples and a pop of blueberry goodness, you’ll be amazed at how every component adds essential flavor, color, and texture to these bite-sized Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes.

Oreos: The rich chocolatey crunch of Oreos makes the perfect base for our cheesecakes.
Unsalted Butter (melted): Helps bind the cookie crust and adds a decadent, buttery taste.
Blueberries: Their natural sweetness and vibrant hue are the star of both the sauce and mousse.
Sugar: Sweetens the sauce, mousse, and topping—balancing the tanginess of the cream cheese and berries.
Lemon Juice: A splash brings out the brightness in the blueberry sauce.
Cream Cheese (room-temp, softened): The classic, creamy base that gives cheesecake its iconic tang and texture.
Heavy Cream/Double Cream/Whipping Cream: Whipped into the mousse and topping, it creates that light-as-air finish.
Gelatin: The secret to a mousse that holds its shape and has the perfect wobble.
Milk (hot): Dissolves the gelatin smoothly, so you don’t get any lumps.
Blueberry Sauce: Adds an extra layer of juicy, tangy berry flavor right in the mousse (made fresh—see steps!).

How to Make Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes

Step 1: Prepare the Molds

Begin by wrapping the bottom of each mousse mold with plastic wrap. This little trick makes it a breeze to release your cheesecakes later, keeping those edges impressively neat and tidy!

Step 2: Create the Oreo Crust

Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a sturdy zip-top bag and rolling pin. Mix in the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly moistened, then scoop the mixture into your prepared molds. Press down firmly to form an even, compact layer—this will be the deliciously crunchy foundation of your Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes. Chill the crusts in the fridge while you continue.

Step 3: Cook the Blueberry Sauce

Combine fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally as the berries burst and the sauce thickens to a beautiful, jammy consistency. Once you have a glossy, thick sauce, remove it from the heat and cool it completely in the fridge. This intensely fruity sauce will shine both inside and on top of your cheesecakes.

Step 4: Mix the Cheesecake Mousse

Soften the cream cheese in a bowl until wonderfully smooth and creamy. In a separate dish, bloom the gelatin in cold water, then mix it into hot milk to dissolve. Combine this warm gelatin-milk blend into the cream cheese along with your homemade blueberry sauce. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until thick and fluffy, then fold everything together gently. Spoon or pipe the finished mousse into your prepared molds over the chilled crust. Smooth the tops and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to set.

Step 5: Make the Silky Topping

Beat softened cream cheese and sugar until completely smooth. Add the heavy cream, then whip until thickened to a pipeable texture. This creamy topping adds a beautiful, decadent finish that complements the tangy blueberry mousse perfectly.

Step 6: Unmold and Decorate

Use a warm, damp towel around the molds to gently loosen and release each cheesecake. Pipe the whipped topping onto each cake, garnish with plump fresh blueberries, and prepare yourself for the oohs and aahs when you serve these adorable Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes!

How to Serve Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes

Garnishes

For that extra pop of color and flavor, I love topping each cheesecake with a handful of juicy fresh blueberries, delicate mint leaves, or even a dusting of finely grated lemon zest. Let your creativity lead the way—edible flowers or a swirl of leftover blueberry sauce make it truly special!

Side Dishes

While Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes honestly steal the spotlight all on their own, you can pair them with a simple fruit salad or a refreshing glass of iced tea for a light, beautifully balanced dessert spread. For a dinner party, a platter of buttery shortbread cookies or biscotti on the side is always lovely.

Creative Ways to Present

Individual glass jars or mini trifle dishes show off those gorgeous layers, while cake stands transform them into a centerpiece. Try making tiny, bite-sized versions for a dessert buffet, or serve in reusable silicone muffin molds for an eco-friendly twist. The possibilities for presentation are as fun as they are delicious!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes keep wonderfully in the fridge for up to three days. Be sure to cover them tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight container to maintain their freshness and prevent them from picking up any fridge odors.

Freezing

If you need to make these cheesecakes far in advance, freezing is a great option. Simply freeze them (without the whipped topping) in their molds until firm, then unmold and wrap tightly in plastic followed by foil. They’ll keep for up to a month; just thaw overnight in the fridge before serving and add your toppings fresh.

Reheating

Since these treats are meant to be served chilled, reheating isn’t necessary. If they’ve been frozen, let them thaw in the refrigerator rather than at room temperature to keep their dreamy, mousse-like texture perfectly intact.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries for the blueberry sauce?

Yes, absolutely! Frozen blueberries work perfectly in this recipe—just use them straight from the freezer and cook as directed. The flavor may even be more concentrated since frozen fruit is often picked at peak ripeness.

What can I use instead of gelatin?

Agar-agar is a great vegetarian substitute for gelatin; keep in mind, though, the setting power is stronger, so you may want to use less. Always dissolve agar-agar in boiling liquid, and adjust the amount to achieve the right texture.

How do I make the cheesecakes without molds?

You can build your Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes in ramekins, muffin tins lined with parchment, or glass jars. If you’re using jars or ramekins, simply serve them as-is—no unmolding required!

Is there a way to make these gluten-free?

Definitely! Swap the regular Oreos for a gluten-free chocolate cookie or gluten-free Oreos for a crust that’s just as delicious and completely gluten-free, so everyone can enjoy.

Can I double the recipe for a larger party?

Yes! This recipe doubles beautifully. Just scale up the ingredients as needed, and you can fill as many mousse molds (or cups) as your heart desires, making it perfect for parties or family gatherings.

Final Thoughts

There is something magical about sharing Blueberry Mousse Cheesecakes with friends and family—the vibrant color, the creamy mousse, that refreshing burst of blueberry. Don’t be surprised if these become your new favorite treat to make and to eat. Give them a try, and let the compliments roll in!
