This 10-Minute Blueberry Cheesecake Sorbet is a deliciously healthy way to satisfy a cheesecake craving!
One of my favorite (non-chocolate…because let’s face it, most of the time chocolate is involved) indulgences is New York-style cheesecake topped with blueberry sauce.
It’s luscious. But how often can a girl get away with eating a slice of that? Not very often.
On the other hand, my 10-Minute Blueberry Cheesecake Sorbet is something that’s a little more everyday-friendly. It’s full of antioxidants and fiber, and I’d even go as far to say that it’s breakfast-friendly (especially if it’s a special day that requires a special breakfast, but donuts just aren’t in the cards).
Here I used a little low-fat cream cheese to provide the cheesecake-like flavor, but you can use full-fat coconut milk instead to keep this paleo. A little hint of ground cinnamon is a nice addition if you’re a fan of the blueberry-cinnamon combo, but if not, by all means, skip the cinnamon. I even make a quick little crumble crust on the stovetop that adds flavor and texture…and because what would cheesecake be without a little crust? ;)

- Crumble Crust:
- 4 tablespoons almond meal
- ½ tablespoon coconut oil
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- Blueberry Cheesecake Sorbet:
- 3 cups (420 g) frozen blueberries
- 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- For the crust, add the almond meal, coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt to a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook until toasted golden and fragrant, about 3 to 5 minutes, and them immediately transfer to a bowl to stop it from burning. Cool 5 minutes.
- For the sorbet, add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and process until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute, tamping down as necessary.
- If you enjoy your sorbet soft and semi-melted, fold in the crumble crust and eat it now.
- If you enjoy your sorbet a little more solid, transfer it to a bowl and freeze until stiffened a bit, about 30 minutes, and then fold in the crumble crust right before serving.

This looks super berry! I wonder how it tastes with cream cheese in it? Is it more buttery?
