Ingredients

Scale

Here’s the complete list of ingredients, with precise measurements:

  • 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 3/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 (8-oz.) pkg. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 3.4 oz. box instant lemon pudding mix (1 small box)
  • 21 oz. can blueberry pie filling
  • 16 oz. tub frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

(Note: 3 cups graham cracker crumbs is a lot – this will make a thick crust. Adjust if preferred. 16oz Cool Whip is the larger tub size).

Ensure cream cheese is softened and Cool Whip is thawed.

Instructions

Let’s assemble this delicious no-bake dessert:

1. Make and Chill Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until all crumbs are moistened.
  • Reserve about 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture for the optional topping later.
  • Press the remaining crumbs firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 13×9 inch baking dish.
  • Place the crust in the refrigerator to set up while you prepare the next layer.

2. Make Lemon Layer:

  • In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the lemon juice and milk; mix thoroughly until combined.
  • Add the dry instant lemon pudding mix last. Beat until thoroughly mixed and the mixture is thick and smooth.

3. Spread Lemon Layer:

  • Drop the lemon batter by dollops onto the chilled crust.
  • Gently spread the mixture into an even layer over the crust using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula.

4. Add Blueberry Layer:

  • Drop the blueberry pie filling on top of the lemon layer by spoonfuls. This technique helps reduce spreading and potential mixing of the layers.
  • Gently spread the pie filling into an even layer over the lemon layer.

5. Add Whipped Topping Layer:

  • Top the blueberry layer evenly with the thawed frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip). Spread it gently to cover the entire surface.

6. Garnish (Optional) and Chill:

  • Sprinkle the reserved 1/2 cup of graham cracker crumbs over the Cool Whip layer, if desired.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the dessert to set up properly.

7. Serve:

  • Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Slice into squares and enjoy!

Incredibly simple layering for a beautiful result!
