Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup butter, melted
Lemon Layer
- 2 (8 oz.) packages 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
Blueberry Layer
- 21 oz. can blueberry pie filling
Topping
- 16 oz. tubs frozen whipped topping, thawed
- Reserved 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs (from crust)
Instructions
- Prepare Graham Cracker Crust: Mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for optional topping later. Press the remaining mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch dish. Refrigerate the crust to set while preparing the other layers.
- Make Lemon Layer: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and milk, mixing thoroughly. Gradually add the dry instant lemon pudding mix and beat until the mixture is well combined and smooth. Spread this lemon cream mixture evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust.
- Add Blueberry Layer: Spoon the blueberry pie filling gently over the lemon layer, spreading it evenly to create a consistent layer without mixing the layers together.
- Top with Whipped Topping: Spread the thawed whipped topping smoothly over the blueberry layer. Sprinkle the reserved graham cracker crumbs on top as a decorative and crunchy finishing touch.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve, then slice into 20 servings and enjoy this cool, creamy dessert.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
- For a dairy-free variation, substitute cream cheese, milk, and whipped topping with vegan alternatives.
- The reserved graham cracker crumbs add an extra crunch on top but can be omitted if preferred.
- This dessert can be prepared a day ahead, which enhances the flavors and makes it convenient for parties.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best natural flavor in the lemon layer.
